SRI ARINDAM GOSWAMI vs ASSAM SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY Advocate - SC, HIGHER EDU — WP(C)/3108/2026

Case Summary: WP(C)/3108/2026 Sri Arindam Goswami, a 4th semester engineering student at Assam Engineering College, challenged his classification as a "Dis-Collegiate candidate" due to insufficient attendance, which barred him from appearing in the 4th semester examination scheduled for 17-06-2026. The petitioner claimed he had above 50% attendance and that medical ailments during the semester entitled him to an additional 25% attendance relaxation per college policy, which was not considered. Order (12-06-2026): The Gauhati High Court granted interim relief, directing the university and college to permit the petitioner to appear in the 4th semester examination with immediate effect. However, the petitioner's results shall not be declared without court leave. The case is adjourned for four weeks for final consideration of the attendance waiver claim based on medical grounds.
