WP(C) 5805/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AMITAVA ROY The petitioner, a student of the Three Years LL.B. Course of the Gauhati University (for short, hereinafter referred to as ’the University’), is before this Court seeking judicial intervention so as to facilitate his appearance in t he ensuing final examination. I have heard Mr R Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr LP Sa rma, learned Standing Counsel, Gauhati University. The facts leading to the filing of the instant petition have to be summa rized. The petitioner after having graduated himself took admission in the afor ementioned course in the academic session of 2002-03 and appeared in his first L L.B. Preliminary Examination held in the month of December, 2003 but was unsucce ssful. He again took the preliminary examination in the month of January, 2005 b ut failed. In his next attempt he, however, cleared the said examination which w as held in the month of January, 2006. Though he took the examination in the int ermediate course held in the month of December, 2004, he could not clear the sai d examination. In his next attempt in November, 2005 he, however, passed. In his pursuit to clear the final examination the petitioner appeared in March, 2007; December, 2007; January, 2009 and also in the month of December, 2009. He, howev er, inspite of his repeated and persistent efforts could not clear the Final Exa mination. He having been declined to take the said examination again in the year 2010 inspite of repeated approach being made by him to that effect, he is befor e this Court. Mr Sarma while admitting that meanwhile the petitioner in his pursuit to clear the Final Year LL.B. Course has availed all the four chances as prescribe d under the relevant Regulations as well as the Notification dated 27.9.2007, ha s beseeched this Court to issue a direction to the concerned authority of the Un iversity to consider his case afresh favourably and to allow him to take the exa mination in which he intensely desire to appear. In response, the learned Standing Counsel of the University has urged th at as admittedly the petitioner has utilized all the four chances available to h im under the relevant Regulations and the Notification associated therewith, in view of the decision of a Division Bench of Court rendered in Monmi Sarma -vs- G auhati University & Ors., (2009) 5 GLR 144, no such direction as prayed for ough t to be issued. A combined reading of Clause-15 of the New Regulations & Syllabus for LL .B. Course read with the Notification dated 27.9.2007 discloses without any amb iguity that a candidate pursuing the aforementioned course is entitled in all to avail four chances in each part thereof. The petitioner having admittedly utili zed all his chances, he cannot be permitted thereunder to appear in the forthcom ing final examination of the University. The decision of the concerned authority thereof not to allow him to sit in the Final Examination, therefore, cannot be faulted with in terms of the aforementioned Regulations as well as the Notificat ion relatable thereto. A Division Bench of this Court in Monmi Sarma -vs- Gauhat i University & Ors., (2009) 5 GLR 144 has authoritatively taken the said view as well. In the above premise, there is no merit in the instant petition which ac cordingly is dismissed. No costs.
