S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 1927/2006 (Prabuddh Bhatia Vs. National Law University & anr.) Date of Order :: 24th October 2008. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH MAHESHWARI None present for the petitioner Mr.M.S.Singhvi for the respondents BY THE COURT: The petitioner, then undergoing the course of BBA. LL.B. at the National Law University, Jodhpur personally filed this writ petition on 12.04.2006 stating the grievance of his having been denied permission by the respondent-University to appear in the fourth semester examination that had commenced from 11.04.2006. Having regard to the fact that by an order issued by the Examination Committee on 21.01.2006, the petitioner was permitted to attend the classes of fourth semester, a notice was issued to the respondent-University to show cause as to why this petition be not admitted and the petitioner be not permitted to take the fourth semester examination. However, as it was given out by the petitioner that first and second papers of the said examination were scheduled on 11.04.2006 and 12.04.2006 respectively and the matter was being considered on 13.04.2006, the prayer for interim relief as 1 made by the petitioner so as to allow him to appear in the examination was declined. When the matter was taken up for consideration yesterday after service, nobody appeared for either of the parties. Looking to the fact situation of the case, learned counsel Mr. M.S.Singhvi who has otherwise been appearing for the respondent-University before this Court in other cases, was requested to assist in the matter. Today, an affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondent-University and it has been pointed out that the petitioner was not permitted to take the fourth semester examination because of short attendance and thereafter, the petitioner left the University in the year 2006 itself and also claimed refund of the remaining amount due to him; and copy of the application as moved by the petitioner for such refund has been placed on record as Annex.R/1. It is submitted that the petitioner is no more a student at the National Law University, Jodhpur. In view of the submissions so made on behalf of the respondent-University, though nobody has appeared for the petitioner, the petition is treated as infructuous; and is dismissed as such.
