examiners. The college had also forwarded the report to the first and second respondents. Now, a duty is cast upon the first and second respondents to examine the records and issue Ph.D., decree to the petitioner.

¶28

3.This is very important, viewed from the eyes of the petitioner.

¶29

She had put hard labour to get Ph.D. The certificate must be issued within a reasonable period of time, to get a job at some place.

¶30

4.However, it is informed that the first and second respondents

¶31

do not have the Governing Council. The Governing Council is formed when there is a Vice Chancellor. This situation is beyond the control of the first and second respondents.

¶32

5.I would therefore place an obligation on the first and second respondents that immediately after the Governing Council is formed, not only to the petitioner, but also to all the other Ph.D., students in all their affiliated colleges wherever students have studied Ph.D., examine the records and proceed to issue Ph.D., Certificates, so that students may not lose out any opportunity owing to not having Ph.D., certificate.
