WP(C) NO. 10010 OF 2026



Important Points

A writ petition seeking permission to appear for an examination becomes infructuous if filed after the examination has commenced.

Subject

Civil - Writ Petition

Headnote

In this judgment, the Court addressed the Writ Petition No. 10010 of 2026 concerning the petitioner’s request to sit for the 5th Semester LL.B examination. Notably, the examination had commenced on the day of filing the petition, rendering the plea infructuous, leading to the dismissal of the Writ Petition as such. The court observed that since the exam had begun prior to the filing of the petition, the desired relief could not be granted, leading to its dismissal.

Table of Content
1. examination started on the date of filing. (Para 1)
2. writ petition dismissed as infructuous. (Para 2)

JUDGMENT

The learned Standing Counsel for the University submitted that the examination has already started on 12.03.2026, while this Writ Petition was filed only on the said date itself and therefore, the relief sought for has become infructuous.

2. On a perusal of the pleadings in the Writ Petition, it is noticed that the petitioner seeks permission to appear for the 5th Semester LL.B Examination. As pointed out by the learned Standing Counsel, the said examination commenced on the day the Writ Petition was filed, and hence the prayer as sought for has practically become infructuous.

Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous.
