Case of the Writ Petitioner, in brief, is that the petitioner was admitted into Five Year integrated B.A., LL.B., SRK, J W.P.No.25497 of 2025 4 course in the Year 2021 and by July, 2024, she completed six semesters with First Class marks and was pursuing 8th semester; that 2nd respondent-University vide D.O.Lr.No. SPMVV/RP/2024, dated 03.01.2025, suspended the Writ Petitioner. Aggrieved by the suspension orders, the Writ Petitioner challenged the same by filing Writ Petition No.1019 of 2025 before this Court and this Court, vide Order, dated 13.08.2025 set-aside the suspension order and consequently, directed respondent No.2-University to permit the Writ Petitioner to resume her studies and further directed that deficiency in attendance if any, shall be condoned for the period of suspension, subject to submitting an unconditional undertaking by the petitioner to maintain discipline by the Writ Petition. (b) By the reason of impugned suspension order, the Writ Petitioner was prevented from attending classes and more crucially, from appearing for 7th, 8th and 9th semester examinations which were held during the period of suspension; that though this Court restored the right of Writ Petitioner to pursue the course, the academic prejudice like missing the examinations can only be remedied if, the respondents are directed to conduct special/compensatory examinations within the subsistence of her SRK, J W.P.No.25497 of 2025 5 course tenure. The Writ Petitioner submitted a detailed representation on 16.09.2025 duly enclosing an unconditional undertaking as directed by this Court, but, 2nd respondent- University, instead of complying with the directions of this Court, willfully disobeyed the same by informing the Writ Petitioner that they would seek advice from their Standing Counsel and obtain a legal opinion before taking any steps for implementation. Respondent No.2-University authorities are not inclined to implement the order of this Court in true spirit. Hence, the Writ Petition. 4. Learned Standing Counsel for respondent Nos.2 to 4, filed written instructions, and submitted that respondent No.2- University had condoned the attendance for 10th semester in order to enable the Writ Petitioner to appear for final semester examination only, which is tentatively scheduled from 29.11.2025. Learned Standing Counsel, basing on the written instructions, further submits that the Writ Petitioner may take the examination for 8th and 10th semesters that are to be scheduled from 29.11.2025 and also to appear for 7th semester examination scheduled from 20.04.2026 and 9th semester examination scheduled from 25.04.2026 as per the Academic Calendar. SRK, J W.P.No.25497 of 2025 6 5. Considering the written instructions placed before this Court, basing on which, the learned Standing Counsel for respondent Nos.2 to 4 made the aforesaid submissions, respondent Nos.2 to 4 are directed to permit the Writ Petitioner to appear, for final semester examination of Five Year integrated B.A., LL.B., course, tentatively scheduled from 29.11.2025, for 8th and 10th semesters that are to be scheduled from 29.11.2025 and for 7th semester examination scheduled from 20.04.2026 and for 9th semester examination scheduled from 25.04.2026, as per the Academic Calendar. 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, the miscellaneous applications, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE K. SREENIVASA REDDY 13th November, 2025. DNB
