Justice M. Jaichandren of the Madras High Court on Wednesday permitted a final year student of the Government Law College in Tiruchi to sit for examinations of the tenth and ninth semesters of five-year B.L. Course commencing on July 2.
In his petition, S. Basheer Mohideen of Thanjavur submitted that he had studied all the semesters and took the examinations from the first year.
He had attended all the ‘practicals.’ Even as he was awaiting to attend the final year examination, he found his name in the list of students who were placed under “Re-do the course.”
When he enquired with the college office, he was told that he did not have sufficient attendance for the tenth semester.
He had attended most of the classes in the semester. He said the scheduled working days per semester were 90 days. But because of the clash between law college students in November last year, all law colleges remained closed till January.
He was allowed to appear for the arrears examination in ninth semester on June 20, but not permitted to sit for the examinations to commence on July 2.
