ASHA CHOUDHARY Vs. UNIVERSITY OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner-Asha Choudhary is a student of M. A. Previous (Hindi) who sought admission into this course for the Session 1999-2000 in Shri Bhawani Niketan Women College, Sikar Road, Jaipur. THE M. A. Previous course of Hindi consists of 4 papers and the 4th paper as per syllabus is optional which consists of study of any one Indian Languages viz. Urdu or Marathi or Bengali or Gujrati. THE petitioner opted for Gujrati as her optional paper for M. A. (Previous) and indicated so in her admission form. It appears that the facility for the study of the subject `gujrati' was not available in the College, yet she was granted admission into the course by the Principal of the College on the assurance to the petitioner that although she would not be able to attend regular classes in the subject, she would have the liberty to prepare for this paper on her own. Thus, the petitioner although was a regular student of M. A. (Previous), the optional paper was studied by her without attending the regular classes and ultimately at the time of examination she filled in the examination form indicating `gujrati' as her optional paper. This created a problem-zone as during the examination, no question paper for Gujrati was sent to the College although the examination form of the petitioner had been accepted by the University. Consequently, the petitioner could not appear in the optional subject `gujarati' in her M. A. (Previous) examination and her career thus was put at stake.

(2.) THE petitioner, therefore, had to knock the doors of justice by filing this writ petition wherein it was contended that although she had been granted admission into the College with Gujarati as her optional paper in the M. A. (Previous) examination, yet she was restrained from appearing in the examination for the M. A. (Previous) although she duly appeared in all the other three papers of the course.
