Regularise BArch student’s attendance, HC orders MEASI

Chennai:26.10.2019

Coming to the rescue of a B.Arch student, G Niveditha, who had knocked at the doors of the Madras high court after being asked not to attend classes due to delay in ‘approval’ of her admission, the court has directed MEASI Academy of Architecture to regularise her attendance so she could appear for exams.

Justice T Raja, concurring with the submissions of senior counsel G Thilagavathi, issued the direction, two days after the court had asked the authorities to take a final decision on the issue. It had on October 23, refused to accept the contention of the college that she was not ‘formally admitted’ to the course but was allowed to attend the classes as an interim measure.

The issue pertains to a plea moved by Niveditha who said the authorities were yet to approve her admission though she had been duly admitted in a government seat under lapsed category, that too within the cut-off date of September 30.

As there was delay in permitting her to attend classes despite the court order, Thilagavathi brought the issue to the notice of Justice Raja on Friday. She also stated that even if the girl is allowed to continue the course now, she might not be able to appear for exams as she would lack the requisite attendance since she was not allowed to attended classes for a brief period by the college management.

Taking note of the difficulty, the judge then directed the authorities to regularise her attendance for the period she was not allowed to attend the classes.
