Judgment : A.P. Mishra and A.B. Srivastava, JJ. 1. LEARNED counsel for the petitioner Sri Ravi Kiran Jain and Sri-Ashok Bhusan learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent Nos. 1 to 3 are present and have addressed the Court at some length. 2. SHRI Ashok Bhushan learned counsel representing the respondents has informed that the undergraduate examinations for the sessions 1995-96 of all the three Faculties (Arts, Science and Commerce) have since been completed and the results declared. The admission process to the post-graduate classes for the session 1996-97 has commenced in the Commerce Faculty, but is yet to commence in other Faculties. While appreciating the steps taken with regard to the completion of the undergraduate examinations, the Court would like to impress upon the respondents the need to expedite the process of admission to the post-graduate classes for the session 1996-97. The students having already lost four months by now may not be in a position to seek admission elsewhere, and should not be made to lose their precious one year. 3. THE supplementary affidavit filed today by the Officiating Registrar of the University of Allahabad, indicates in paragraph 4, the proposed dates of commencing the post graduate examinations to various subjects in the three faculties (Science, Arts and Commerce). However, in quite a number of subjects instead of exact date, only months have been indicated. THE dates so indicated cover a range of period starting from November, 1996 upto September, 1997 with a rider that the heads of Departments in some subjects have not yet indicated the dates for commencing examinations and as such the scheme for such subjects could not be finalised. 4. THE chart submitted does not appear to have taken cognizance of the observations, regarding holding the examinations to post-graduate subjects, for more than one session on the same dates, considering the fact that number of students in various subjects in the post-graduate classes would not be very high, and holding already delayed examinations for each year separately, would lead to a situation where completion of examinations upto the session 1995-96 would spell over even beyond the end of session 1996-97 and in some cases even beyond the middle of session 1997-98, and thus eclipsing a major part of the students' prime career. The least this Court would do is to call upon the University authorities, to prepone and fix examination schedules for the post-graduate classes in such a manner that all the examinations (previous and final) upto the session 1995-96 are completed and the results declared by the end of March, 1997. The examinations for the session 1996-97 if the situation so permits may be held and completed in the month of July, 1997. To achieve the aforesaid end, it would also be necessary that the authorities, as well as heads of the Faculties and Teachers, get on to the task of completing the teaching in a time-bound manner with a missionary zeal keeping the Interest of the young students, for whom University exists, supreme. 5. A very important aspect on which this Court had occasion to express in its order dated 3.9.1996, was regarding holding of post-graduate examination centrally, by fixing the time schedule, instead of leaving it to the sweet-will of the heads of Departments. It appears from paragraph 8 of the Supplementary Affidavit filed today that a sub-committee for examining and implementing the same has been formed and its report is being awaited on the same as well as on the subject of carry-over system. The two subjects, to say least, being entirely different, entrusting the same to one sub-committee will obviously defeat the very purpose of directing the examination schedule to be fixed centrally. While the question relating to carry-over system may be open to debate, fixing examination dates centrally hardly requires deliberation in any sub-committee or any detailed report. We hope and trust that authorities shall exercise their legitimate duties in this regard and not leave the fixation of schedule and holding of examinations, to spread over virtually the whole year in each session, and well before the next listing, a positive co-ordinated examination schedule shall be formulated and implemented. 6. ON behalf of the petitioner, the prayer in his application dated 28.4.1996 to constitute a committee of academicians of repute, to analyse the maladies, persons, and groups, responsible for the decay in the functioning of the University, and to suggest ways and means to remedy the same, was again pressed saying that this will go a long way to improve the academic atmosphere and bring the functioning of the University back on the rails. Before taking any decision on this aspect, the Court would like to have the reaction and specific suggestions of the respondents in this regard, which along with such means as may be suitable, may be submitted by the next date of listing of the case. One factor upon which there is unanimity of view of both sides is that, lack of dialogue, and lack of dedication on the part of various segments of University, teachers not excluded, is to a great extent responsible for the decadence of image and functioning of the University, which had for decades been acclaimed as the Oxford of East. The authorities, or for that matter the efforts of the Court, may fail, unless the teaching community of the University takes a pious vow to rise to the occasion and rededicate themselves to the task of teaching, invigilating and evaluating the answer books, the last two, of late not being attended to by a majority of them. 7. LACK of cultural activities, sports and seminars, etc. which are the nerve centre of any institution dealing with human resources, and education, might also be contributing to a State, where there is no meeting point in constructive activities, to all important segments of the Institution, the administration, faculty members/students and the staff. The authorities, or for that matter the respondents, will be well-advised to re-introduce the healthy practice of holding academic seminars, sports and recreative activities regularly, so that a better report and atmosphere is created, and the energies of the youth is channelised, paving the way for a better and bright future for them, and bring back the lost glory to the Alma-matter. Let this petition now be listed for further hearing when the Bench sits next.
