The petition before the High Court states, that due to the delay in the declaration of results the rights of the petitioners under Articles 14, 16, 19(i)(a), 19(i)(g) and 21 of the constitution have been violated.
A petition is filed in the Bombay High Court, by eight law students for declaration of their missing results, of the final semester exams. The said eight students had enrolled themselves with the Government Law College, Mumbai (GLC) affiliated with Mumbai University.
The petition is filed through an Advocate Ajinkya Udane, who in the petition has stated that as per the Maharashtra Universities Act 2016, the board of examination and evaluation shall declare the results within 30 days of the last day of examination, and in case of delay then within 45 days of the last day of the examination. The petition states that the results were declared after 65 days on 13.08.2022, and the results of the petitioners are missing without any reason or communication. Further, there are 64 other students who are facing a similar issue with the result.
The petition states that the students have lost opportunities due to delays in the declaration of results. The petitioners have lost opportunities in PSUs, law chambers and firms, and IBPS recruitment exams. It further states that because of the delay in the declaration of results, the petitioners had to forgo several opportunities including higher studies which has not only affected their carrier but also caused mental agony.
The petition mentions that the petitioners are also not able to enroll with the bar council since the results are not declared, and are not able to apply at law firms which have resulted in the petitioners being unemployed. Further, the registration for the All India Bar Examination cannot be secured without getting the registration of the state bar council. Therefore, the petitioner’s Fundamental Rights under articles 14, 16, 19(i)(a), 19(i)(g), and 21 of the constitution have been violated.
The petitioners have prayed before the court the following:
a. Declare the missing results of the Petitioners who gave final year LLB examinations held by Mumbai University within one week
b. Allow petitioners to register with the State Bar Council so that they do not miss the opportunity for appearing in AIBE 2022 examination.
c. Direct the respondent to issue necessary instruction to GLC, Mumbai, to admit the petitioner in the newly launched LLM program
