Engineering had already been held in March, 2002 in which the petitioner had appeared and result thereof will be published. In view of such statement, this Court by order dated 13th September, 2002 directed the Ranchi University to publish the result of his 1st Year B.Sc. (Engineering) Examination, held in March, 2002, within two weeks.
