Mr. Mr. Bhupinder Kumar Gupta, learne ehalf learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petit e petitioner accepts notice and very fa ioner very fairly submits that the petitioner only inten intends to pursue her studies and and, s and is not after the money and, therefore, efore, the application filed by the r y be the respondent-university may be allowed an ed and the costs of Rs.10,000/- be wa be waived off. 4.

In the present petition, the grievance In th s that evance raised by the petitioner is that she was ad was admitted in B.Sc. (Medical) cours dent course in March 2017 in respondent no.4-colleg college and she appeared in the 1st sem was semester examination which was held by by the respondent-university and ster. y and passed the said semester. Thereafter reafter, the petitioner appeared in the n the 2nd semester of B.Sc. (Medical) ical) and cleared cleared the same in May, 2018. Keep rs of Keeping in view certain matters of personal n onal nature, the petitioner could not p had not pursue the said course and had to go abro o abroad but she came back and aga .Sc. nd again sought admission in B.Sc. (Medical) dical) course and was granted ad by ted admission in June, 2022 by respondent ondent no.4-college in 3rd semester ( ester (2nd year) of the course. The The petitioner ioner continued her studies but ultima pear ultimately, when she was to appear in the fina e final semester examination, i.e. 6th th semester examination, she was was not allowe allowed to appear in the same on the some on the ground that there was some irregularity ularity in the admission of the petitio s not petitioner and, therefore, she is not eligible to ble to appear in the 6th semester exami examination. 2. The petitioner has approached this The t the d this Court with a prayer that the respondent ondent-university be directed to take take 6th semester examination of the f the petitioner ioner so that she is able to complete urse, mplete her B.Sc. (Medical) course, otherwise rwise her 8 years will go in vain and thout and she will be left with without any academ academic qualification. 3. Upon notice of motion, replies have Upo - s have been filed by the respondent- university ersity and respondent no.4-college. 4. Learned counsel for the responden Lear once ondent-university submits that once the petitio petitioner left the course in the year June year 2018 and came back in June 2022, she , she could not have been granted ad ted admission in the 2nd year by the y the VINOD KUMAR 2025.02.11 09:30 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document (cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:6) (cid:5)(cid:6)(cid:7)+,--+(cid:4)(cid:6).(cid:4)/0/1(cid:4))(cid:13)2(cid:31)*(cid:4)(cid:4) - – 3 – respondent ondent-college and she should have s from have started the course afresh from the 1st sem semester. He further submits that th is to that the B.Sc. (Medical) course is to be comple ompleted within a period of six years f and years from the date of admission and starting the ing the course in 2017 onwards, six y and, , six years have already elapsed and, therefore, efore, the petitioner has rightly been n th been not allowed to appear in the 6th semester e ester examination. He further submits ed to ubmits that the admission granted to the petition petitioner in June 2022 in 2nd year wa llege ar was wrongly done by the college concerned, erned, for which the respondent-unive university cannot be made liable. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the I hav ough or the parties and have gone through the record ecord with their able assistance. 6. Even if it is assumed, for the sake o Even as an sake of argument, that there was an irregularity ularity, either on the part of the univer nting university or the college, in granting admission ission to the petitioner in June 2022 i 2022 in 2nd year of B.Sc. (Medical) ical) course, the se, the due care has to be taken for the that for the welfare of the student so that she does n does not suffer because of the fault of lege. ault of the university or the college. Further, it her, it is conceded that the petitioner h upto ioner has undergone her studies upto 6th semeste emester and also cleared all the exam examinations upto 5th semester but r but she has has been stopped from appearin pearing in the final/6th semester ester examinatio ination only, though she has already f the already studied during whole of the said 6th sem semester. When the petitioner wa was ner was not at fault and no fact was withheld b held by her to secure admission befo in n before respondent no.4-college in June 2022 2022, she cannot be put into a situa f her a situation where her 8 years of her studies are are left without any fruit so as to pu s to pursue her remaining life. 7. The argument of the respondent-un The ssion university is that the admission could not d not be given in the 2nd year by res June by respondent no.4-college in June 2022 and and the same has to be asked from th the from the institution and not from the VINOD KUMAR 2025.02.11 09:30 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document (cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:6) (cid:5)(cid:6)(cid:7)+,--+(cid:4)(cid:6).(cid:4)/0/1(cid:4))(cid:13)2(cid:31)*(cid:4)(cid:4) - – 4 – candidate idate, especially when there is no mi rt of no misrepresentation on the part of the candid candidate. On any irregularity on , the y on the part of the institute, the students ca ents cannot be punished. 8. With With regard to the argument that a plete a student is required to complete the B.Sc. ( B.Sc. (Medical) course within a period te of period of six years from the date of admission, ission, it is pertinent to notice that ther and at there was Covid-19 pandemic and it could be uld be a possibility that certain studen h the students could not keep up with the pace of oth of other students during the said per eriod id period, therefore, the said period needs to s to be set off against time period er to period taken by the petitioner to complete h plete her course and if this fact is m esent is made applicable in the present case, the p , the petitioner’s case could be brough od of rought within the required period of six years years so that she can appear in the 6 6th semester examination of the f the B.Sc. (Med . (Medical) course. 9. Keeping in view of the above, Kee not ve, though the petitioner was not allowed to ed to appear in the 6th semester exam n the r examination when conducted in the year May May 2024 but in the next examinatio ination of the 6th semester of B.Sc. .Sc. (Medical) dical) course (even supplementary o , the tary or the main examination), the petitioner ioner shall be allowed to appear in the in the said 6th semester examination ation and in cas in case the petitioner passes the sam n to he same, further action be taken to grant her t her the recognition of her qualifica law, alification, in accordance with law, without rai out raising any further objection. 10.
