ORDER

The Text below is only a summarized version of the order pronounced

The Supreme Court is agree with the view of the High Court where the High Court concluded that
the students who have failed in the first supplementary examination in 1997 and passed in the
supplementary examination of march 1998 in the failed subject (XIth) could appear for XIIth class
examination in March 1999. It saves one year of a student's career. As per the amended rules the
students who have passed compartmental examination in the failed subject in the first
supplementary examination of July-August will be entitled to go into class XI by this way the
present amendment restricts the privilege only to the first chance. The High Court was right in its
interpretation of the rules. The appeal accordingly allowed.
