Dear Akhil,
What has happened with you is unfortunate. Issue of second mark sheet must have given you a big shock.
The instance well illustrates the rot that has run deep in the field of education. Notwithstanding advancement in the technology, today in 21st century, we come across with the problems that we did not face in immediate aftermath of our independence. In the recent past there was a news of Mumbai university losing answer sheets of 53,000 students!
Though education is in the concurrent list of the constitution, union education minister could have done lot to fix rot of the decaying universities. While former education minister often locked horns with this or that Director of the prominent institute, the present education minister does not do anything beyond his characteristic smile!
Castigating on education ministers apart, I have one question. Before filing a writ petition, did you apply for reevaluation of the marks? Generally, in most of the universities, reevaluation of the marks is done in time-bound manner.
The second solution is hastening the process of litigation. Just check with some high court lawyer whether it is possible to bring injunction order (or any other order for that matter) so that the case is taken up expeditiously. Of course this is a layman's suggestion or a query. Though this route is costly, if you are about to get the job, then weigh between cost of lost opportunities Vs cost of additional litigation. If former outweighs latter, then it makes sense to go for that option.
Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar
