Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.J.C.FRANCIS Counsel for the Respondent No.1: MR.DEEPAK BHATTACHARJEE Standing Counsel for Osmania University Counsel for the Respondent No.2: MR. SUBRAHMANYAM KURELLA The Court made the following: ORDER: The writ petition is filed praying this Court for a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 15.9.2003 and further direct the second respondent to permit the petitioner to attend final year LL.B., Course. The writ petition was admitted on 24.12.2003 and this Court has dismissed WPMP No.33751 of 2003 seeking a similar relief. Be that as it is, the petitioner has now moved WPMP No.21500 of 2004 praying this Court to expedite the hearing of the writ petition. As an innocuous prayer is made, the matter was heard at Interlocutory state and is being disposed of. The petitioner joined the First year Law course in 1995 and after completion of the first year, he was promoted to second year in 1998. He was allegedly promoted to third year also in September 2003. However, he was not permitted to attend classes on the ground that he has not completed 3-year Law course within duration of six academic years. Therefore, he made a representation to the first respondent, seeking permission to continue LL.B., final year course. The same is pending with the first respondent. Therefore, without expressing any opinion on the right of the petitioner to prosecute 3-year Law course even after six academic years of admission in 1995, the matter is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 15.9.2003 and pass appropriate orders within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition, with the above observations and directions, is disposed of. _______________ September 29, 2004. V.V.S.
