JUDGMENT
The issues involved in these writ petitions are covered against the
petitioners as per the common judgment passed in W.P.(C). No.
13563/2024 and also in judgment in W.P.(C).No. 33598/2023. In the
said decisions, this Court held that the students for MBBS shall not be
entitled to attend the supplementary examination, unless they had the
requisite attendance before the regular examination. To be precise, the
fact that the students have attended remedial classes after the regular
examinations, will not enable the said students to attend the
supplementary examinations.
In the light of the observations made by this Court in the above
referred judgments, the relief sought by the petitioners cannot be
considered. Accordingly, these writ petitions are dismissed. However,
it is clarified that this will not preclude the petitioners from approaching
the National Medical Commission (NMC) or the University for the
appropriate reliefs for conducting a special supplementary examinations
for them.
