the respondent No.3 to permit the petitioner to continue his 3 years L.L.B course within
a stipulated time fixed by this Hon’ble Court.
2.Upon hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and perusing the affidavit
filed in support of the writ petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that, the petitioner
is a student in the third respondent-college, which is a private Law College. It is the
allegation on the part of the student that when his attendance for the 5th semester was
well within the condonable limit and it was also condoned and when he was writing the
examination, in between, the transfer certificate came to be issued to him. According to
the student, proper opportunity was not given with respect to the allegations and he did
not commit any misconduct at all.
3. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the third respondent-college
would submit that on account of certain misconducts, when a disciplinary enquiry was
sought to be taken, in the best interest of students, it was agreed that the student would
get the transfer certificate and get enrolled in some other college.
4. I have considered the rival submissions made on either side and perused the
material records of the case.

5. A normal transfer certificate and conduct certificate have been issued by the
3rd respondent college and there is no stigma or reference to any misconduct.
Therefore, the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner
never committed any misconduct and that no opportunity was given, need not be gone
into.
6. On the other hand, when the matter came up on the last occasion, this Court
directed the petitioner and his parents to take a pragmatic approach and also requested
the respondents, whether the student can be facilitated to attend some other college so
that it will result in a win-win situation, as the student’s education shall also be
continued, at the same time, the 3rd respondent-college also does not face any problem
in the conduct of the college, especially in matters relating to discipline. In that
background, without adjudicating on any of the issues or causing stigma on any person,
the Court directed the exercise to be undertaken.
