THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 20265 and 20267 of 2010 Common order: The petitioners appeared for EAMCET. They state that they are eligible to participate in the EAMCET counseling for admission into medical courses under the Sports/Physically Handicapped quota. That they went to attend the counseling, but the respondents did not allow them to attend the counseling. Therefore, they made representation dated 06.08.2010 requesting the respondent to permit them to attend counseling, but the respondent neither verified their originals nor permitted them to the counseling. Hence, they filed the present writ petitions seeking to declare the action of the respondent in not considering their representation and consequently to direct the respondent to permit them to the counseling. The learned Standing Counsel for the respondent on instructions submitted that as per Regulation 5 of the Regulations on Graduate Medical Education, 1997, a candidate seeking admission into medical course on the basis of qualifying examination, must have obtained not less than 50% marks in English and 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology taken together; and if he seeks admission on the basis of competitive entrance examination, he must have obtained not less than 50% marks in English and 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology taken together, both at qualifying and competitive examination. He further produced the marks obtained by the petitioners and submitted that since the petitioners did not possess the prescribed 50% marks in the aforesaid subjects in the qualifying examination i.e. Intermediate and also in the competitive examination i.e. EAMCET, the respondent did not allow them to attend the counseling. Hence, he prayed that the writ petition be dismissed. Since the petitioners did not satisfy the eligibility prescribed in Regulation 5 of the Regu8lations on Graduate Medical Education, 1977, in that they do not possess the prescribed 50% marks in English and 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology taken together, both in qualifying examination as well as the competitive examination, no exception can be taken to the action of the respondent in not permitting the petitioners to attend the counseling by acting on their representation dated 06.08.2010. The writ petition is devoid of merit, and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Dated: 06th September, 2010 KSR
