THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION Nos.25183 AND 25525 of 2010 COMMON ORDER: Though these writ petitions have been instituted seeking directions to respondent-Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences to undertake evaluation of the answer scripts of the writ petitioners for the 1st year MBBS course, for which examinations were conducted during July/August 2010, they can be disposed of right at this stage, in view of the decision taken by me dealing with a similar question in Writ Petition No.379 of 2008 by judgment rendered on 16.04.2008, wherein I directed Dr.NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada to constitute Students Grievance Redressal Committee, comprising of the special experts, so that the grievance of the students about improper methods of evaluation of their answer scripts can be appropriately examined by such a committee. Basing upon the findings of the said committee, the University can take appropriate decision in the matter. I am in such a view, inasmuch as the students keep constantly complaining that they had followed the proof of standard books on the subject concerned and that the answers furnished by them are in accord with the subject specified in such text books, but however, the evaluators have missed out the contents and improperly valued the answers of the writ petitioners resulting in their result being declared as failed. Courts are hardly equipped to undertake the examination of the valuation of answer scripts of the students, who are pursuing medical courses, but at the same time, the respondent-University shall not be allowed to sweep away the grievances of the writ petitioners about harsh or improper evaluation methods adopted by the evaluators of their answer scripts, not redressing the grievances of the students particularly, like in the instant case, where large number of students have been complaining about improper methods of valuation might lead to frustration if not disappointment for pursuing the medical courses. It is the academists, who will be able to take a decision as to whether the contents of evaluation undertaken by the valuers is moderate or correct or not in case the Grievance Redressal Committee finds it moderate and substance in the grievances of the writ petitioners, then they will be devising appropriate means to mitigate the same. Hence, instead of entertaining this writ petition and keeping it pending, I consider it appropriate to direct the second respondent Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences to constitute forthwith appropriate Grievance Redressal Committee comprising special experts and then allow the answer scripts of the students to be re-examined by the said committee. The said Committee shall file its report in the matter within a maximum period of 15 days before the authorities of the second respondent-University, thereupon, the second respondent-University shall decide the matter afresh and communicate its conclusion/decision to the writ petitioners. With this order, these Writ Petitions stand disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. -------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 7th October, 2010 bud THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION Nos.25183 AND 25525 of 2010 DATED: 07.10.2010
