Important points
1. All the High Courts (and the Supreme Court) publish their format for various kinds of applications
called High Court Rules. For example, M P High Court Rules is published by MP High Court. Among
other things, is provides the format for Writ Petition (Form 7 of MP High Court Rules.)
2. Format is a little different for a regular Writ Petition and a Writ Petition for PIL (Public Interest
Litigation). See Form 8 of MP High Court Rules for a sample of PIL.

2. A declaration that no matter pending: Petitioners declare that no matter relating to the subject matter of
this petition has been previously instituted or is pending in any Court, authority or tribunal at the instance of
the petitioners.
6. Grounds urged :
6.1 Because the petitioners future is at stake as they are unable to take admissions in other colleges and
universities of India for LLM courses due to late conduction of examinations. Complete one year of
petitioners is being wasted because of this inaction and irresponsible attitude of Respondent No. 1.
6.2 Because even School of Law Respondent No. 3, which is run by DAVV, is not allowing the petitioners
to appear in their entrance exam for LLM.
6.3 Because due to low marks awarded to the petitioners in the practical subject, they have been rendered
uncompetitive to secure admission in LLM courses in colleges affiliated to DAVV on the basis of merit. The
low marks awarded in the practical subject also look bad on the petitioners’ resume and adversely affect the
petitioners’ chances of securing a job or other career related activities.
6.4 Because the Petitioners are unable to appear in Civil Judge Class II examination which is being
conducted in September 2009 for no fault of theirs.
6.5 Because petitioners are being denied their fundamental right to work due to delay in obtaining Sanad.
6.6 Because it is a duty of DAVV to conduct exams fairly and on time, which it has failed to do.
6.7 Because it is a duty of Respondent No. 2, to evaluate the students fairly in Practical subjects, which it
has failed to perform.

That no notice of lodging a caveat by the respondents has been received by the petitioners.
