(C) No. 37 /2008 (D) = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 4th day of March, 2008 J U D G M E N T In these writ petitions, the petitioners who were admitted for Bachelor of Library and Information Science Course conducted by the 3rd respondent colleges in these cases. 2. The dispute is regarding their eligibility to be admitted and according to the petitioners though they had less than 45% of marks at the time when they were admitted there was no requirement of any minimum marks. However, the fact remains that they were admitted and had commenced course. As it presently stands from the stand of the University, it is evident that the matter regarding their eligibiilty is pending consideration of the Syndicate of the Mahatma Gandhi University and it is essentially for the Syndicate to take a decision in this matter. 3. Now that the Syndicate is seized of the issue, these writ W.P.(C) Nos. 38210/07 & 37/08 - 2 - petitions are disposed of directing that a final decision on the eligibility of the petitioners to continue their course in their respective colleges will be decided by the Syndicate. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. I also clarify that in the meanwhile it will be open to the petitioners to submit any supplementary representation if they so choose. Writ petitions are disposed of as above.
