THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 15108 of 2003 DATED: 21.06.2007 Between: S.Surendranath and another. .. Petitioners. And Vice Chancellor, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, and others. .. Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.15108 of 2003 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioners have questioned the validity of the orders passed by the Registrar, Andhra University, in cancelling their admissions in Post Graduation Course i.e., M.Com. 2. A reading of the impugned order indicates the petitioners, who were studying Final Year and Previous Year of M.Com. respectively during the academic year 2002-2003, have indulged in misconduct of ragging, assaulting, causing breach of peace and tranquility in one of the Hostels maintained by the respondents’ University on 07.09.2002 at 7.00 PM, and that in view of the said misconduct, the respondents have initiated disciplinary action against the petitioners, and that when show cause notices were issued to the petitioners, they offered their explanations admitting the incident and their participation, but pleaded for mercy keeping in view their future. However, in view of the seriousness of the allegations against the petitioners, the respondents have passed impugned order cancelling their admissions. 3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the respondents’ University has not returned the original educational certificates of the petitioners, which they have submitted at the time of their taking admissions in their College. Further, the counsel submitted that it is not known to him whether the petitioners are willing to continue their studies of M.Com, which is of two years Course. But, however, he seeks directions for issuance of the original educational certificates of the petitioners. 4. In view of the nature of the allegations made, and as much as the impugned order is passed after giving an opportunity to the petitioners, I am not inclined to interfere with the order of cancellation, dated 28.04.2003, passed in proceedings No.PA/R/Misc./2003. However, if the petitioners make representations for return of their original educational certificates, which they have submitted at the time of their admission in the respondents’ University, the respondents shall return the same without making any endorsement on them. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY,J) Dt.21.06.2007 v v
