THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.17629 of 2005 Dated:09.03.2006 Between: N.V.A.Seshaparna, S/o.Palasnkaram. ..... PETITIONER AND Convener of Ed.Cet-2004, Govt. of Andhra Pradesh, Dept. of School Education, Sanketika Vidya Bhavan, Masab Tank, Hyderabad. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.17629 of 2005 ORDER: The petitioner appeared for B.Sc final year examinations from Andhra University in April 2005. Pursuant to the admission notice issued by the first respondent on 06.08.2004, she appeared for Education for Common Entrance Test (EDCET) 2004, seeking admission to B.Ed course for the academic year 2004-2005. She got 2384 local rank and appeared for the counselling. She was admitted to the course in the second respondent-College. However, by memo, dated 21.07.2005, the first respondent cancelled the provisional allotment/admission of the petitioner on the ground that she passed qualifying examination after conducting EDCET-2004 examination. Assailing the said memo the present writ petition is filed. This Court while admitting the writ petition passed orders suspending the impugned memo, by reason of which, the petitioner continued her course. It is now submitted that after completing the course, she has already appeared for the practical examination and is likely to take theory examinations shortly. With the assistance of the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for School Education, this Court has gone through the notice of the entrance test. As per the said notice, the essential qualification for appearing in EDCET is graduation in Arts, Science, Commerce or Business Management. Those candidates, who appeared in their final year degree qualifying examinations, are also entitled to appear for EDCET, but they should have acquired qualifying qualification by the date of counselling. As per the revised admission programme published by the first respondent on 18.06.2005, the counselling for the first time was held on 05.07.2005. The question is whether by that date, the petitioner has passed her B.Sc examination? Along with the writ petition, a Xerox copy of the provisional certificate bearing Disposal No.E III (5) (SUP)/110701/2005 (Register No.203076035), dated 22.05.2005, is enclosed, which shows that she appeared for the final year examination in April 2005. Therefore, while issuing the impugned memo, the first respondent has lost sight of this crucial fact, and therefore, the same cannot be sustained. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, allowed, with a direction to the respondents to allow the petitioner to complete her course. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 09.03.2006 vs
