judgement dated 01.10.2020, in the case Reshma.S.Nair V/s Cochin
University of Science And Technology (CUSAT) in clear terms held that
even 4 months extension of the academic calendar is intolerable and
not allowable as the University could have conducted the examinations
for the supplementary papers of LLB students by online considering the
outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and therefore directed the university to
conduct the examinations through online instead of offline immediately
and publish results immediately without delay for avoiding the extension
of the academic calendar year.
In the circumstances stated above, the petitioner has no efficacious
alternative remedy, except to seek the redressal before this Hon'ble Court

original jurisdiction vested in this Hon’ble Court by virtue of Article 226 of
the Constitution of India.
The petitioner have not filed any writ petition, suit or other proceedings
for the relief or relieves sought herein.
It is therefore prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to issue an
order, or a direction, or a writ, more particularly one in the nature of Writ of
Mandamus directing the Respondent to immediately take all necessary steps
to complete the petitioner’s 5 YEARS LLB course within a specified period and
declare the pending results., and to pass order 9th and 10 semesters for
consider early written 1 & 2 semesters as 9th and 10 semesters as other
order or orders as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the
circumstances of the case.
It is also just and necessary that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to
direct Respondents to provisionally complete the academic requirements and
issue a provisional degree certificate or confirmation of course completion,
pending disposal of the above writ petition, and to pass such other order or
orders as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of
the case.
