SRI.BINNY THOMAS, STANDING COUNSEL

¶204

THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR
ADMISSION ON 07.04.2025, ALONG WITH WP(C).13536/2025 AND
CONNECTED CASES, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE
FOLLOWING:

¶205

2025:KER:29925

¶206

W.P.(C) No.13536 of 2025 & con.cases

¶207

¶208

JUDGMENT

¶209

Dated this the 7^th day of April, 2025 [W.P.(C) Nos.13536, 13677 & 13814 of 2025]

¶210

The petitioners in all these writ petitions are BAMS students of 2017 and 2019 admissions. The petitioners state that Final Professional BAMS Degree Examination was tentatively scheduled to be held on 19.05.2025. However, the said date was postponed by the Kerala University of Health Sciences to 03.07.2025. This will cause irreparable loss and injury to the petitioners, as the petitioners will be losing a chance to write one more examination in the year 2025.

¶211

The petitioners would further submit that the action of the respondents in adjourning the examination is in violation of the provisions of the Examination Manuel. In the interest of justice, the respondents are compellable to hold the examination in the month of May itself.

W.P.(C) No.13536 of 2025 & con.cases

¶214

¶215

Standing Counsel entered appearance on behalf

¶216

of the University and resisted the writ petition. The Standing Counsel pointed out that the petitioners are students of 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 admissions. The petitioners had ample opportunity to appear in a number of final year examinations till date. The petitioners cannot raise a grievance regarding postponement of Final Year Examination this year.

¶217

The Standing Counsel submitted that due to Covid-

¶218

19 pandemic, the examinations of regular 2020 admission had to be delayed and could be held only on 03.07.2025. Therefore, the next examination could not have been conducted in the month of May, 2025. It was in such circumstances that examination is now adjourned by about six weeks. It is an exceptional circumstance and the Controller of Examinations has power under the Examination Manuel to postpone the examination in such exceptional circumstance.

¶220

W.P.(C) No.13536 of 2025 & con.cases

¶221

¶222

I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners

¶223

and the learned Standing Counsel representing the University.

¶224

The grievance raised by the petitioners is that due

¶225

to the postponement of examinations, they are likely to lose a chance to appear for another examination in the year 2025.

¶226

The Standing Counsel for the University would submit that even though the examination is conducted in the month of July, 2025 a further examination will be held in the month of January, 2026, if not, in December, 2025.

¶227

In such circumstances, the grievance raised by the petitioners have no place as the petitioners will be able to appear in the examination in December, 2025 / January, 2026.

¶228

In view of the above, recording the said submission, the writ petitions are disposed of.
