CHANCELLOR, AGRA UNIVERSITY, RAJYA BHAVAN, LUCKNOW Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE present writ petition is directed against the order passed by the Chancellor on 29-8-87 rejecting the representation dated 11-12-1986 filed by the petitioner against the decision of the Examinations Committee dated 23-11-1986 whereby it was decided to reduce the marks of the petitioner in LL.B. (First year).

(2.) THE petitioner appeared in the LL.B. (First year) Examination of 1986 from Agra College, Agra (hereinafer referred to as the College) with roll number as 2280. She appeared in six papers, viz., Law of Contract, Law of Torts and Essement, Law of Agreement and Procedure, Hindu Law, Mohammadan Law, Indian Constitutional Law & Indian Legal History.

(3.) THE Vice-Chancellor, on further enquiry, found that the roll numbers mentioned in the complaint, were of the relatives of teachers and other influential persons who mattered in the University. Most of them secured very high percentage of marks. He after enquiry was satisfied that it was not a mere coincidence or chance but a clear manipulation right from the initial stages when roll numbers were assigned to the candidates.
