JUDGEMENT
MOHAMMAD RAFIQ,J. -
(1.) For the reasons stated in the application, the documents annexed with the application are taken on record.
The application no.49420/19 is disposed of.
(2.) This appeal is directed against the judgement of the learned Single Judge dated 4.6.2019 by which the writ petition filed by
four writ petitioners has been dismissed. The appellants-
petitioners in the aforesaid writ petition had prayed for issuance of
writ of mandamus directing the respondents to declare them
eligible to participate in Part-II professional MBBS course
supplementary examination, which was scheduled to take place in
the month of June, 2019. It may be noted that the examination is
to now begin from 4.7.2019. The learned Single Judge relying on
Regulation 7(7) of the MCI Regulations and the University
Ordinance has dismissed the writ petition.
Shri Swadeep Singh Hora, learned counsel for the appellants
has submitted that the appellants-writ petitioners took admission
in MBBS course and Part II Examination of MBBS, which took
place in August, 2017. The result thereof was declared in October,
2017. However, the university withheld result of 28 students including the appellants. Their result was withheld owing to some
gap of communication between the university, college and the
Medical Council of India. The appellants were therefore not at
fault. In the meanwhile, supplementary examination of Part-I was
held in November, 2017. However, the result of those 28
candidates was declared belatedly on 26.12.2017 in which 20
students out of 28 were declared pass. 8 students applied for
revaluation, out of which 2 were declared pass in February, 2018.
Some of the appellants filed writ petition before this Court being
S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.5539/2018, Mohammad Hashir & Anr.
vs. State & Ors. and S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.9695/ 2018,
Amardeep Sharma & Ors. vs. State & Ors. The learned Single
Judge of this Court has allowed the writ petitions by judgement
dated 25.4.2018 and 9.5.2019, holding that since the petitioners
were not at fault, therefore, they have a legal right as per
Ordinance 267 of the University to write two examination in a
year. Since they had lost their chance to write the supplementary
examination due to the fault on the part of university, which
declared their result belatedly, the university was directed to
conduct special supplementary examination of MBBS Part Ist for
petitioners. The aforesaid judgements were challenged before the
division bench in D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) Nos. 703/18, RUHS
vs. Amardeep Sharma & Ors. and D.B. Special Appeal (Writ)
No.719/2018, RUHS vs. Mohammad Hashir & Ors. which upheld
the aforesaid judgements by dismissing the appeal dated
1.6.2018.
(3.) It is argued that the special supplementary examination of five students was conducted pursuant to order of this Court in
June, 2018. One student Umesh Kumar Nunia did not file writ
petition and therefore his/her examination was not held. He
however appeared in regular Part-I Main MBBS Examination in
July, 2018. He has filed the writ petition before the Principal Seat
at Jodhpur being S.B. Writ petition No.8354/2019, Umesh Kumar
Nunia vs. MCI & Ors., wherein the learned Single Judge of this
Court by interim order dated 20.6.2019 permitted him to
provisionally participate in the supplementary examination
commencing from 4.7.2019, however, directed that his result shall
be kept in sealed cover.
Learned counsel therefore submitted that the learned Single
Judge has erred in law in not allowing the petitioners to appear in
the supplementary examination of the MBBS Part-II and therefore
appropriate direction to that effect be issued to the respondent-
university. Learned counsel argued that even if Regulation 7(7) of
the MCI Regulations and Ordinance 268(b) of the University
Ordinance provides completion of study of 18 months of Phase-I
(Pre Clinical) subjects, in the peculiar facts of the case, when the
petitioners cannot be put to fault, this Court ought to exercise its
extraordinary jurisdiction to do the complete justice to the
petitioners. Learned counsel in support of his arguments relied on
the judgement of the Supreme Court in Ibrahim Bachu Bafan vs.
State of Gujarat & Ors .-(1985) 2 SCC 24.;
