THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.27864 OF 2009 Dated 5th July, 2010 Between: Mohd Omer Khan …Petitioner And Secretary, A.P.State Council of Higher Education …Respondent Counsel for the petitioner : Sri Mohd Ghousuddin Counsel for the respondents: Sri C.Sudesh Anand The Court made the following ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to direct the respondent to clarify whether the M.Com degree obtained by the petitioner from Madurai Kamaraj University is recognised in the Andhra Pradesh State and Central Government Services for promotion or not. I have heard Sri Mohd Ghousuddin, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri C.Sudesh Anand, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The petitioner was appointed as Attender on compassionate grounds in the Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Commercial Taxes Department, Abids, Hyderabad. He was promoted as Junior Assistant on 27.04.2007. The petitioner claimed to have passed Post Graduation in Master of Commerce from Madurai Kamaraj University through the mode of Distance Education, Secunderabad, in November, 2005. The petitioner further averred that the said University was recognised by the University Grants Commission and so are all the degrees conferred by it. The petitioner is stated to have made a representation on 31.10.2007 to the respondent seeking clarification whether M.Com of Madurai Kamaraj University is recognised by the Andhra Pradesh Government Services for promotion and that the respondent has not clarified on the said aspect till now. That to another representation dated 01.04.2009, made by the petitioner, the respondent has given a reply on 27.04.2009 stating that the question raised by the petitioner was not clear and that he may resubmit his application with clarity on the information required by him to enable it to furnish the information at the earliest. In my opinion, this writ petition is totally misconceived. When the respondent felt that the queries raised by the petitioner were not clear, it is the duty of the petitioner to give proper clarifications in order to enable the respondent to give the required information. Instead of giving such clarifications, the petitioner has unnecessarily filed the present writ petition. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to make a fresh representation with necessary clarity on the information sought for by him to enable the respondent to furnish such information. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP No.36295 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 5th July, 2010 vrn
