When parties reach a consensual resolution during judicial proceedings, the Court may dispose of writ petitions by directing that examinations taken under provisional interim orders be regularized as official re-appear examinations.

Headnote:The petitions concern students seeking permission to sit for semester examinations despite failing to meet conventional attendance requirements, citing medical conditions. The Court initially granted interim relief permitting the petitioners to take exams provisionally given their attendance records exceeded 60%. The core issue is whether the examinations already taken under interim orders can be regularized notwithstanding the university's attendance policy for the upcoming July 2026 re-appear cycle. The Court reasoned that since the university consented to treat these attempts as the scheduled July re-appear examinations, the controversy is effectively resolved without further adjudication. The petitions are disposed of with a direction for the university to treat the completed examinations as the official re-appear examinations scheduled for July 2026.

KULDEEP TIWARI, J. (ORAL)

2. The present petitioners seek issuance of directions to respondent- SVKM’s NMIMS (Deemed to be University) to permit them to appear in the examinations scheduled to commence on 04/05.05.2026 for their respective semesters of the B.B.A. LL.B. and B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) programmes, in light of their medical condition and other grounds set forth in the writ petitions.

3. Having regard to the fact that the petitioners secured 60% or more attendance in each subject, this Court, vide separate detailed interim orders dated 04.05.2026, permitted them to provisionally appear in the examinations.

4. During the course of hearing today, learned senior counsel appearing for respondent- SVKM’s NMIMS (Deemed to be University) submits that although, as per the applicable policy, the petitioners would be eligible to appear only in the re-appear examinations scheduled to be held in July 2026 for their respective semesters, since the petitioners have already undertaken the examinations pursuant to the interim orders of this Court, the University does not wish to contest these writ petitions provided that the examinations already taken by the petitioners are regularised and treated as the re-appear examinations scheduled for July 2026.

5. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submit that they have no objection if the examinations already undertaken by the petitioners, pursuant to the interim orders passed by this Court, are treated as the re-appear examinations scheduled for July 2026.
