The Allahabad High Court has allowed a management student, who was short of attendance, to appear in the supplementary examination to be held on November 16 at Amity University.
A Single Bench of Chief JusticePritinker Diwaker passed this order while hearing a petition filed by Sanya Yadav.
The grievance of the petitioner is that though she had attended all the classes of Marketing Management in MBA (Media Management) course but due to technical flaws in the portal, her attendance has been shown inadequate.
Counsel for the petitioner submitted that on account of some technical flaw, the portal has incorrectly shown the attendance of the petitioner as inadequate, otherwise she had attended all the classes and her attendance was 100 percent.
It has been argued that on 16.11.2023, i.e tomorrow, the paper of supplementary examination for the subject Marketing Management will start at 2:00 pm and all the formalities are required to be completed before it.
He further submitted that if the petitioner is not permitted to appear in the examination, she will lose her six valuable months.
It has been urged that the petitioner may be allowed to appear in the supplementary examination to be held on 16.11.2023 for the subject Marketing Management in MBA (Media Management) course, subject to the result of the petition and if the petitioner fails, she undertakes to pay heavy cost to the University.
State counsel submitted that the State has no active role to play and the dispute is between the petitioner and the University.
Counsel appearing for the University submitted that as the office is closed on November 15, he could not receive full instructions. However, a limited instruction which has been passed on to him is to the effect that an admission card cannot be issued in such a belated stage.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, in particular, the fact that the matter relates to a student, where each examination is important, the Court directed that the petitioner be permitted to appear in the supplementary examination to be held on 16.11.2023 for the subject Marketing Management in MBA (Media Management) course. However, her result may not be declared without prior permission of the Court and in the eventuality of the statement of the petitioner being found incorrect, she may be subjected to pay heavy cost to the University.
The Court has fixed the next hearing of the petition on December 14, 2023.
