Moderator(s), Member(s), of the Subject Examination Committee, Referee(s),
Teacher(s) or any other person(s) connected with the conduct of University
Examination.
So that discipline enforcement is feasible towards an objective,
transparent and accountable conduct of University examinations. The same was for
the time being regulated through issuance of Direction No. 2 of 2001. However,
the matter needs to be governed by a Ordinance prescribed for the said purpose.
While implementing the provisions of this Ordinance, no financial implications
are involved at the Government as well as university level as of now or in future and
the same is in consonance with the orders of the State Government and guidelines
of the University Grants Commission.
Hence this Statute.

The provisions of this Ordinance would be applicable to the candidates who
have become eligible in reassessment and who were granted provisional
admission by the colleges at the commencement of the academic session for
the remaining part of the examination subject to unequivocal certificate
issued by the college specifying that the candidate was granted provisional

with all the matters in relation to examinations and shall hear and decide the
complaints received pertaining to any matter arising out of conduct of
examinations and the procedure to be followed by the Board in their deliberations
shall be such as may be prescribed. Taking into account the fact that in the event

caused to the students exists, as such keeping the said possibility in mind, the
policy governing provisional admissions subject to reassessment is required to be
framed as no such provision is existing in the ordinance. Hence, this ordinance.

STATEMENT OF OBJECT & REASONS
In the year 2005 an Ordinance for Ph.D. in Law was made by the University
which was common for all faculties. In fact, while framing that Ordinance no one
from the Faculty of Law was consulted. There are many clauses in the Ordinance
which are not relevant for Law Faculty. The Old Ordinance is also silent about
Research Methodology, about how the report should be submitted by Referees and
procedure to be followed from Registration to submission. The new Ordinance has
removed all those deficiencies and those clause which were not relevant for Law
Faculty have been deleted (provisions with regard to Laboratory etc.)
Therefore, the main object for making a new Ordinance for Ph.D. Degree is to
streamline the procedure, eligibility and modalities governing the conferment of
Doctoral Degree in the Faculty of Law. With a view to give correct guidelines to
officers of the university in administration that this Ordinance is made. The
Ordinance is made keeping in view the provision of MU Act. It is also to maintain
the academic standard along with legitimate aspirations of the students that a
separate Ordinance specially for Faculty of Law has been is made.
While implementing the provisions of this Ordinance, no financial
implications are involved at the Government as well as university level as of now or
in future and the same is in consonance with the orders of the State Government
and guidelines of the University Grants Commission.
Hence this Ordinance.
