Holding
The Court directed the University to consider the petition afresh and pass a reasoned order within two weeks after the petitioner complies with the required documentation.
Summary
The petitioner, Usha, filed a writ petition seeking a direction for the University to issue his computerized mark sheet and degree for the B.Ed. course of 2012-13 after having passed the examination. Although the university initially generated a mark sheet on its portal, it refused to issue the documents citing the absence of an enrollment number. After the petitioner obtained an enrollment number and a migration certificate through a letter from respondent No.5, the university still failed to issue the mark sheet. The petitioner approached the High Court, alleging inaction and seeking relief. The Court disposed of the petition, granting the petitioner liberty to comply with the university's requirements and directing the university to consider the matter afresh and pass a reasoned order within two weeks of receiving the necessary documents.
Issues considered
- Whether the University is obligated to issue the computerized mark sheet and degree after the petitioner has been allotted an enrollment number.
- Whether the writ petition is maintainable to compel the University to issue the documents.
