It is submitted that subsequently petitioner upon recovering participated in the examinations from the year 2020 but again fell seriously ill due to which he could not complete the course in the time stipulated but in view of fact that he has all through out passed the relevant examinations, learned counsel for petitioner submits that some leniency is required to be shown by the opposite parties. 4.
