Though the students were admitted, they completed the curriculum. hut the University did not permit them to appear in the 5th or 7th Semester examinations, which commenced from May 16 last.
After evaluation of the matter by the Chancellor, as per his letter of April 25 last, it has been observed by him that after the decision by the Academic Council, of September I. 2013. the University had issued notification of September 13. 2013. without placing that for consideration before the Management Council.
According to the petitioners, the approval to the notification by the Management Council would provide statutory force to the said notification. The scheme framed under the notification needs to be taken to logical end and issue of appearance in examination cannot he left to mere speculation.
Advocates Abhijit Khare. Rohan and Mugdha Chandurkar also appeared for the petitioners. Advocates purushottam Patil.Tajwar Khan and Arun Agarwal represented the University.
