A.V.RAMAKRISHNA PILLAI, J ----------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.9292 of 2015 ----------------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of June, 2015

JUDGMENT

Aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the respondents, the petitioners come up before this Court.

2. All the petitioners are B.Tech Electrical Engineering students of VIIIth semester under the 4th respondent. They appeared for the VIIth semester Laboratory examinations held in December 2014. The petitioners allege that the examinations were held smoothly and to the knowledge of the petitioners and college there was no complaint by both the internal and external examiners. However, the results of other colleges were published, the lab examination results of the petitioners are withheld and cancelled as per Ext.P1. This was without order to the petitioners. Notwithstanding Ext.P2 representation, a re-examination is now ordered as per Ext.P3. The petitioners point out that the entire action

W.P.(C).No.9292 of 2015 is illegal and violative of all principles of fairness and natural justice; hence this writ petition.

3. Heard the learned senior counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing counsel for the respondent University.

4. All the petitioners have written final B.Tech Electrical Engineering examinations. It was submitted by the learned senior counsel for the petitioner that continuance of litigation would affect their career in case of any delay. The learned Standing counsel for the respondent University made the following suggestions before this Court; which was unacceptable to the learned senior counsel for the petitioners.

(i) The University would conduct the VIIth Semester Laboratory examination for the 4th respondent college within two weeks and publish the results on or before 31.07.2015.

(ii) the VIIth semester Electrical Engineering main and suplimentary examinations, 2014, other than laboratory examinations of the 4th respondent would be

W.P.(C).No.9292 of 2015 published without any delay.

Recording the said submissions, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent University to proceed with the proposed action adhering to the time schedule suggested. All other issues are left open. Sd/- A.V.RAMAKRISHNA PILLAI JUDGE vs
