THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SRI ANIL R. DAVE AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO.1388 OF 2009 Dt.02.12.2009 Between: M. Suman … Appellant And The Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Rep. By its Registrar, Kukatpally Ranga Reddy District And others …Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SRI ANIL R. DAVE AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO.1388 OF 2009 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy) This Writ Appeal has been filed by petitioner No.3 in Writ Petition No.25674 of 2009 feeling aggrieved by order dt.25.11.2009 in the said Writ Petition whereby the learned Single Judge while permitting petitioner Nos.1 and 2 in the said Writ Petition to appear for the ensuing examinations, declined to grant a similar relief to the appellant on the ground that his name finds a mention in the crime registered against him under the provisions of Andhra Pradesh Prohibition of Ragging Act, 1997. At the hearing, Sri K. Venumadhav, learned Counsel for the appellant, urged that the incident in respect of which the crime has been registered is minor in nature and that the same arose on account of some misunderstanding among the students. He further submitted that in respect of a student by name, S. Rohit, who is also named in the same criminal case, the learned Single Judge directed respondent No.2 College to permit the said student to appear for the examinations subject to father of the student appearing before the Principal of respondent No.2 – College and filing a written undertaking to the effect that he will not resort to ragging at any point of time in future. On this submission of the learned Counsel, we have called for W.P. No.25828 of 2009 and we find that an order to the above mentioned effect was passed by the learned Single Judge. Inasmuch as a co-accused along with the appellant, whose name has been mentioned in the F.I.R., is permitted to appear for the examinations, we deem it appropriate, in the interest of justice, to pass a similar order in favour of the appellant herein as well. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is allowed. Respondent No.2 is directed to permit the appellant to appear for the remaining examinations subject to the same condition as was stipulated in order dt.26.11.2009 in W.P.M.P. No.33642 of 2009 in W.P. No.25828 of 2009 as referred to above. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Appeal, W.A.M.P. No.2898 of 2009 filed by the appellant – petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. In view of disposal of the Writ Appeal, the Registry shall post W.P. Nos.25674 of 2009 and 25828 of 2009 together before the learned Single Judge in usual course. ______________ ANIL R. DAVE, CJ ______________________ C.V.
