JUDGEMENT
NARAYANA PAI, CJ. -
(1.)The petitioner having read for the B.A. Degree Course of the Bangalore
University, appeared for what are described as Major Subjects,
History and Political Science, at the final examination held in April-May
1970. The said two subjects are included in one part of the Course of
Study which is made up of one minor subject and two major subjects.
The petitioner had already appeared for the minor subject and passed in
the same.
(2.)At the examination now in question, he appeared for the two
Major Subjects and secured 145 out of 400 in History and 165 out of 400
in Political Science. According to the regulations, for a pass in the Major
Subjects an examinee should secure at least 35 per cent in each subject
and 40 per cent on the aggregate. The petitioner has secured 35 per cent
in each of the subjects but the total does not amount to 40 per cent of
the aggregate.
(3.)The petitioner claims that he is entitled to an addition of 10 marks
by way of grace amounting to one per cent of the maximum number of
marks for the entire Part made up of one minor subject and two major
subjects. On the other side, the University says that the petitioner is
entitled to take into account only the maximum of the subjects for which
he submitted himself for the examination which is 800; one cent of 800
being only 8 is insufficient to secure a comfortable pass for the petitioner.
