Rabindra Nath Ghosal vs University Of Calcutta & Others

The appellant sought a writ of mandamus to compel the University of Calcutta to declare his M.A. examination results from 1984, which remained unpublished for several years. While the result was eventually declared during the pendency of the writ petition, the appellant was found to have failed. The court examined the maintainability of the petition and the university's obligation to declare results in a timely manner.
