No matter how much Iv tried to run away from the law, the legal fraternity and the so called legal ‘profession’, it surely doesn’t want to leave me.
The doctorate degree has not even begun in the true sense, and here, we are served summons to appear in the courts. The dept. Is extremely incompetent, and wants to leave us in the lurch to defend ourselves. Even if not that, they surely don’t want to go out of the way to help, in matter that should and does concern them than us.
A third ranker in the university level exam, who failed to file in the application for PhD course, and was so ‘shocked and traumatised’ to see another dept level ‘illogical’ exam being conducted (as her petition reads), that she did not sit for the same. So obviously she never got the admission. Now the lady decides to walk upto the High Court, challenging the admission procedure for the course.
Challenge the procedure, no problem. Where, apparently, is the need to attach the students as the respondents too? Where does the case stand, when u ask the students, why did u take admission? Well, the dept offered us the same, we were capable of it, and we took it.
Even if I understand the motive (which is not malafide) behind forcing us to be respondents, for her lawyer is a young chap living in the hostel, and I hope, incapable. I don’t understand the spineless, gutless, incompetent, and even to an extent, an impotent , approach of the dept. They are not putting their foot down, that the university lawyer should defend us. The case is clubbed with that of the dept and has no personal element in it. If I was alone in the matter, maybe I wouldn’t have minded having a personal lawyer. But since we are 5 of us together, why should there be a personal advocate when the case does not really concern the individuals concerned.
Have to meet the university advocate tomorrow. HATE this whole process and stuff, especially when I know that Iv got to put my energy to something more constructive, more purposeful, than deal with such Godforsaken things, and that too on my own. Though I know there must be something good in the whole process, and am sure il have something to learn. But I hate it nonetheless. Am losing time to useless things, and that makes me a perturbed, irritated person right now.
Btw.. I get a scholarship for doin the Phd! I was thinking of revoking it, but Iv been talked out of that idea. So the formalities shall be completed, and I hope the process takes a farily long time to materialise. Enough of a long time to give me my peace of mind, to give others a piece of my mind!
