M. Vinendran v. Govt. of NCT of Delhi & Ors.

1. Allowed, subject to just exceptions.

2. Application is disposed of. W.P.(C) 17185/2022

3. Reply is stated to have been filed on behalf of the respondents. Neutral Citation Number: 2023:DHC:3766 However, the same is not on record.

4. None appears for the petitioners when the matter is called out.

5. Perusal of the prayer clause shows that the present petition has been filed with prayer for directions to the respondent no. 3 school for giving science stream-Medical in Class XI to the petitioner. The present writ petition was filed on 12.12.2022 for the last academic session i.e. 2022-2023 when the student in question was in Class XI and had been admitted to Humanities stream.

6. Learned counsel appearing for respondent no. 3 school submits that the petitioner did not attend the classes of Class XI in the school. He further submits that the session of Class XI for the year 2022-2023 is already over and that new session has already commenced for the academic session 2023-2024 from April 2023 onwards. He further submits that the petitioner neither attended the classes nor paid any fees. Thus, he submits that the petitioner has not been promoted to Class XII.

7. It is clear that the petitioner student has not attended the classes in the respondent no. 3 school, because she did not get the subjects of her choice. Since, the academic session of Class XI of the year 2022- 2023 is already over and the petitioner has not attended any class of standard XI, the present petition has clearly become infructuous.

8. In view of the aforesaid, the present writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. MINI PUSHKARNA, J MAY 22, 2023 c
