JUDGMENT
Petitioner is a student of the 3rd respondent institution and is undergoing her first professional BAMS course. After completion of the first year, petitioner realised that she is not being permitted to register for the examination. On verification it was realised that the college had treated her attendance as short of the minimum required. Petitioner disputes the percentage of attendance allotted to her and stated that, the college had seriously committed some errors while calculating her attendance. Petitioner immediately raised her grievance as per Exhibit-P4, to which a reply was given as Exhibit-P5, wherein the college admitted that the grievance pointed out by the petitioner regarding missing attendance entries was correct. Despite the above, the college stated that her attendance was still less than the minimum, and therefore, the college did not permit her to register for the examination that is about to commence on 09.03.2026. It is at this juncture that the petitioner has approached this Court.
2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Senior Counsel for the respondent University as well as the learned Government Pleader.
3. The percentage of attendance alleged to have been obtained by the petitioner will have to be verified. Therefore, petitioner has to approach the Board of Adjudication for Student Grievances (BASG) regarding her missing attendance. This Court cannot go into the said factual disputes. However, in the meantime, since the examination is scheduled to take place on 09.03.2026, I am of the view that the petitioner ought be permitted to write the said examination, subject to the decision of BASG.
4. Accordingly, there will be a direction to respondents 2 and
3 to register the petitioner provisionally for the first professional BAMS examination scheduled to commence on 09.03.2026, at the earliest, after accepting the fee for the same. Petitioner shall also be permitted to participate in the internal examinations after accepting the records submitted by her. Petitioner shall also file the appeal before the BASG at the earliest, at any rate, within a period of two weeks from today.
The writ petition is disposed of as above.
