Lawyer representing the University of Papua New Guinea is seeking to have two cases filed by students dismissed from the National Court.
Darrel Kamen went before Justice Leka Nablu this morning, asking the court to have the two cases that were filed for judicial review dismissed.
He told the court the all the students’ appeals that were filed to the university's Appeals Committee after they were permanently excluded went in their favour and they are back in class.
Their appeals are upheld by the university on Oct 6. They have since been allowed back on campus and are sitting their exams.
He said there was nothing left to proceed with in the National Court from the Judicial Review cases.
The students’ lawyer, Ramsey Pariwa, told the court they want an order that was issued by Justice Collin Makail last month.
This order was for an extension of time to be allowed for the students to sit their exams.
Parties involved in the students’ case will return to court at 1.30 before Justice Nablu, where the court will hear what the state's position is on the matter.
