Pratip Maity v. Amity University And ORS.

13.05.2022 Ct. 5 D/L 15 ab WPA 7865 of 2022 Pratip Maity -VsAmity University & Ors.

Mr. Subir Sanyal, Mr. Aranya Basu ... for the petitioner Mr. Rudraman Bhattacharyya, Mr. Sourajit Dasgupta, Mr. Souvik Mazumdar, Mr. Rajdeep Mantha, ... for the respondent nos. 1 to 8 Controversy in the present writ petition is whether and in what manner the petitioner would be allowed to clear the backlog of papers in which the petitioner was unsuccessful. The admitted facts are that the petitioner could not clear two papers in the 2nd semester, four papers in the 3rd semester and the entire nine papers in the 5th semester in Under-graduate Law Examination.

Learned counsel for the University submits upon instructions that the petitioner may be allowed to clear six papers in the 2nd and 3rd semester within a comfortable timeframe. Counsel places an undertaking given by the petitioner on 29th August, 2022 wherein the petitioner had stated that the petitioner would clear

the backlog papers before being promoted to the next semester.

It appears that the petitioner is now in the 7th semester but has not been allowed to attend classes in the 6th semester despite having paid full fees. After hearing learned counsel, this Court is of the view that the petitioner should be directed to clear the backlog of papers in the 2nd and 3rd semester examination, which are six papers, within a period of two to three weeks with the papers comfortably spread over. The petitioner shall, however, be allowed to attend classes of the 7th semester. If the petitioner has indeed been deprived of attending classes in the 6th semester, the University shall take steps to arrange for special classes for the petitioner since the University has accepted full fees from the petitioner in that regard. WPA 7865 of 2022 is disposed of in terms of the above.
