The learned Advocate appearing for the Deemed University, has also tendered an affidavit in reply dated 10 th December, 2025. The same is taken on record. 4. The learned Advocate for the Petitioner does not dispute that though the Petitioner was called upon to appear before the Committee for Redressal of Concerns (CRC) on 15 th October, 2025, she did not appear. Her parents sent a request through a friend, who submitted it to the Committee, stating that the Petitioner is not attending the CRC. No request was made for a deferred hearing. So also, when it came to appearing for the exams for 6 subjects, which the Institution had permitted the Petitioner to take, she voluntarily did not appear even in a single exam. 17 days after the exams, a medical certificate was produced from the Law School’s Health Centre, stating that the Petitioner has vertigo. 5. Be that as it may, the Institution has volunteered to allow the Petitioner to appear for the two CNG (Course Not Granted) subjects in the Special Exams to be conducted tomorrow for the subjects Corporate Law Practice and Civil Law Practice. Arrangements would be made on an urgent basis to enable the Petitioner to appear for the said exams, which are scheduled on 16 th December, 2025 and 17 th December, 2025, along with a few other students for whom a Special Exam is being arranged, in the light of the recent order of the Delhi High Court dated 3 rd November, 2025 passed in W.P. (CRL) No.793 of 2017, CRL.M.As. No.16639 of 2017 and 8850 of 2024. 6. The learned Advocate for the Deemed University further submits that the University would render full cooperation to the Petitioner to enable her to appear for the remaining 6 subjects in the Backlog Exam in March/April 2026 and she would not lose any Academic Year. If the Petitioner passes in the said subjects, she would not lose a single Academic Semester or year. 7. The learned Advocate for the Petitioner submits that though the Petitioner may have failed earlier, she is a meritorious student. 8.
