ORDERB.C. Ray, J.1. After having heard Mr. Mitra, learned Advocate for the petitioner and Mr. Mukherjee on behalf of the Principal, University College of Law though I was very much reluctant tointerfere in this matter still after having seen the sorrowful state of affairs going on in the University Law College particularly in its Hazra Branch I am quite clear in my mind that the authorities of the college including Shri Upadhaya the Principal. University College of Law, are not aware nor do they try to be over conscious of their duties and serious responsibilities of running this sacred Institution and to see that the students reading there are properly trained and instructed. The attendance registers have been produced before this Court and I am constrained to say that all these attendance registers clearly show in what perfunctory manner they have been kept.
