ORDER
The writ petition is filed for a Mandamus directing the respondents to Page1 of 4 in July, 2019 within a time frame fixed by this Court and for a further direction to issue graduation certificate immediately and to pass such further or other orders.
2. Upon hearing the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, it is
stated that the institution is no longer at the said address and therefore service could not be effected. Further it is not necessary to serve the institution, as the institution has already sent a communication to the first respondent University.
3. Under the circumstances, in view of the nature of order that is passed, the writ petition is disposed of without completion of service to the second respondent.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though the
petitioner duly underwent the course and in the list of marks sent by the second respondent institution, instead of entering the petitioner’s mark as 19 for internal assessment, they had wrongly entered it as zero, it was nothing but a data entry mistake. In spite of this being brought to the notice of the first respondent University, till date no orders have been passed to correct the mistake. The institution itself had sent a communication through email on 02.11.2019 and the same is kept pending. Page2 of 4
5. Since the pleading is that it is only an inadvertent error and the matter is pending with the first respondent, the writ petition is disposed of on the following terms:
(i) The first respondent shall take up the communications sent by the second respondent institution seeking correction of the error on 28.06.2019 as well as on 02.11.2019, etc;
(ii) The first respondent shall verify whether the same is
only a clerical error / an error by oversight and if so, order
correction of the error and issue the necessary certificate to the petitioner;
(iii) If the first respondent comes to the conclusion that
there was no clerical or other error and doubts the case of the petitioner, then an opportunity shall be given to the petitioner to present their views and after hearing the petitioner, orders in accordance with law shall be passed; and
(iv) The above exercise shall be completed within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of the web copy of the order, without waiting for the certified copy.
(v) There shall be no order as to costs. Neutral Citation: No NSL Page3 of 4
