Meghalaya HC allows law student to take final semester exam barred due to short attendance; Recognizes medical hardship as exceptional circumstance
Rule 12 of the Rules of Legal Education, 2008 is to be interpreted reasonably. When it is possible for the student to attend classes and he deliberately or negligently does not do so, the rule would apply. In case of impossibility created by illness, act of God etc., this rule is either not to be applied or to be liberally construed.
