‘Send hall ticket to student on WhatsApp’
CHENNAI, JULY 31, 2018 00:00 IST
The Madras High Court on Monday directed the Bharath University (deemed university) to issue hall ticket to a final year MBBS student through WhatsApp on Tuesday so that she could appear for supplementary examinations on Wednesday at an affiliated college in Puducherry using the mobile phone app along with Aadhaar card or passport to prove her identity. Justice S. Vaidyanathan came up with the idea since the examinations were scheduled to begin on Wednesday and there was just one day in the interregnum for the student to pay the requisite fees. He also directed the university to provide its bank details to the student so that the fee could be paid through National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT).
The orders were passed on a writ petition filed by D. Sobica, who alleged that she had been deliberately given fail marks in the final year examinations just because her mother had spearheaded an agitation against Puducherry-based Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences affiliated to Bharath University.
After considering the paucity of time, the judge ordered issuance of hall ticket through e-mail as well as WhatsApp.
