The petitioner is present in the Court in person. In 1 Whether reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2 2025:HHC:22389 terms of the directions passed by this Court today in the morning session, the petitioner is stated to have appeared before the Principal of the concerned College today, i.e. on 11.07.2025 and he has also in writing tendered his unconditional apology. 3. Though, this Court is of the considered view that the kind of behaviour attributed to the petitioner, which has resulted in the issuance of order of rustication cannot be and should not be condoned because condonation thereof may embolden the students to again indulge in such like acts, but as the petitioner has stated in the Court also that he regrets his actions and undertakes to be a good student and good citizen of the country, this Court by exercising its extraordinary jurisdiction, hereby quashes the impugned order of rustication passed by the Principal of the concerned College (dated 21.09.2024), with the hope that the petitioner will not indulge in such like activities in future. However, it is clarified that in case, in future, the petitioner is found wanting as far as the conduct expected from his is concerned, then the State shall be at liberty to approach this Court, seeking recalling of the order that has been passed by the Court today. 4. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of. Copy of the apology tendered by the petitioner in original, as stands received by the Principal of the College, is ordered to be taken on 3 2025:HHC:22389 record, which shall form part of the record. 5. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that respondents be directed to forthwith declare the result of the petitioner and for this purpose, the College has to open the portal concerned. 6. Learned Additional Advocate General and learned Counsel for the University submit that they shall forthwith take up the matter with the Authority concerned and ensure that the needful is done by the Authority in this regard. They further ensure that the needful will be done before noon tomorrow. Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, also stand disposed of accordingly.
