DIRECTOR NETAJI SUBHAS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, AMRAH, BIHTA, PATNA, DISTT.- PATNA ----------- 7. 23.06.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the University. The petitioners have failed in more than three 4 papers of the first year. The University regulations prohibit them from appearing at the second year examination unless and until they clear all the papers of the first year. The Regulations also requires them to re-appear in all the papers of the first year. The petitioners had relied upon the transitory regulations for the relief to be permitted to appear at the second year examination notwithstanding the fact that they had failed in more than three papers of the first year. The University had failed to file counter affidavit in time. The Court therefore by interim orders permitted them to appear at only the failed papers of the first year only along with the second year. The publication of their results was to remain dependent on the outcome of the writ petition. This Court in C.W.J.C. No. 11725 of 2008 (Sarfaraz Ahmad & Ors. Vs. State of Bihar) held that a student failed in more than three papers of the previous year could not be allowed to appear the subsequent year examination on strength of the transitory regulations. L.P.A. No. 172 of 2009 against the same has been admitted for hearing but the judgment of the writ Court has not been stayed. Counsel for the petitioners are not in a position to inform the Court if the petitioners have re-appeared only in the failed papers of the first year or have subsequently 5 reappeared in all papers of the first year. If the petitioners have reappeared in all the papers of the first year, depending on their results different consequences may ensue with regard to their second year examination results. If they have not re-appeared in all the papers of the first year when the University regulations dominate presently different consequences shall ensue. By consent of the counsel for the parties, these writ applications are referred to the Vice Chancellor of the Magadh University to examine the facts of the case in light of the present discussion, grant a personal hearing to the petitioners keeping in mind that it involves their academic interests and pass appropriate orders, to be disposed off within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Pending final decision by the Vice Chancellor, if the petitioners seek any interim relief it shall be open for the Vice Chancellor to consider the same in accordance with law. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
