Merely getting an admission is not to be treated as a right to indefinitely pursue the course as and when one likes. In the even petitioner was suffering from tuberculosis a reasonable period of absence could be condoned. However, having been admitted in the year 2015 a period of five years cannot be condoned for such purposes particularly when the regulations have also undergone a change and the curriculum for Pre-Ph.D. course has also changed. There is nothing on record to show as to why the petitioner could not raise a grievance before this Court in case she did make an endevour to resume her course and she was not permitted to do so. Having waited at her leisure for a period of five years the petitioner cannot be permitted to claim exemption, as a matter of right, as is sought to be done in the facts of the present case. In such circumstances and for the reasons noticed above, this Court is not inclined to issue any direction in the matter as is prayed for by the petitioner. Writ petition, accordingly, is consigned to records. It is, however, provided that as and when a fresh process for admission to Ph.D. course is initiated the petitioner shall be at liberty to apply and the fact that she has not been able to complete the course earlier will not be a bar in consideration of her claim in accordance with law.
