THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.23202 of 2011 ORDER : Having regard to the short relief sought for during the course of arguments by Sri B.Thimothi, learned counsel for the petitioners, for a direction to the 3rd Respondent – Principal (Associate Dean), College of Veterinary Science, Tirupati to consider and dispose of the representation dated 13-08-2011 said to have been submitted by the petitioners, this Writ Petition is being disposed of with the consent of the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned standing counsel for the respondents 1 to 4 at the admission stage. The petitioners completed their 3rd B.V.Sc. & A.H. course. The annual board examinations for the 3rd year course are scheduled from 24-08-2011 to 02-09-2011 (theory) and from 09-09-2011 (practicals). It appears that the petitioners were not permitted to take the said examination on the ground that they have shortage of attendance in the subject viz., Veterinary Pathology Programme, VPP311 and VPP 321. They were informed of this by a memo, dated 12-08-2011. The petitioners state that they regularly attended the said course and the shortage of attendance, if any, was not informed to them which would have enabled them to make up the attendance. It is therefore stated that they made a representation to the 3rd respondent to intervene in the matter by setting aside the Memo dated 12-08-2011 and permit them to write the examinations. Sri A.Venkataramana, the learned standing counsel, submits that petitioners did not satisfy the requirements of attendance having fallen short of 75% of the attendance. They did not attend the classes in spite of an opportunity given to them by conducting special classes. The grievance of the petitioners that they were not given credit of their being the participants in various sports items was also taken care while working out the attendance of the petitioners. In any event, the 3rd Respondent – Principal (Associate Dean) is not competent to consider the request of the petitioners as presented by them in their representation dated 13-08-2011. I am not inclined to express any opinion on the merits of the case. Having regard to the short grievance, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 3rd Respondent – Principal (Associate Dean), College of Veterinary Science, Tirupati to consider the representation submitted by the petitioners dated 13-08-2011 and pass appropriate orders and communicate the same to the petitioners as early as possible, preferably within a period of three days from the date of the receipt of a copy of the orders. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 23rd August, 2011. Note : Issue operative portion by wire at party’s costs.
