For Petitioner: M/s.Rufina.E
For Respondents: Mr.M.Nallathambi, for R1, R2

O R D E R
The writ petition is filed with a prayer directing the respondents to
consider the representation of petitioner dated 02.01.2026 and permit the
petitioner to take his 7th semester LLB examination, conducted by the
respondents 1 and 2, along with the 8th semester examination scheduled to
commence in April-May 2026.
2. Upon hearing the Learned Counsel for the petitioner and perusing the
material records of the case, it can be seen that for the 7th semester, there was
shortage of attendance and therefore, the petitioner was not permitted to write
the examination. The petitioner is also not attending the 8th semester. The 8th
semester classes commenced on 04.12.2025 and already a major portion of the
8th semester classes are also over, as we are now in the month of February 2026.

3. It is true that this Court granted an equitable relief, following the
Hon’ble Delhi High Court judgment in re: Suicide Committed by Sushant
Rohilla, Law Student of I.P. University, to some students who were similarly
situated as that of the petitioner. However, it can be seen that those students
approached the Court immediately after they were prohibited from writing the
examination or sooner thereafter. This student had approached only in January
2026. Therefore, in view of the sheer delay, this Court cannot direct to give him
compensatory classes etc., and therefore, I am unable to interfere in the present
matter.
4. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. The student shall
continue the course next year as originally directed.
There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected
Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
