IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE TWENTY SEVENTH DAY OF OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26752 of 2010 Between: Radhika Adepu, D/o.Manohar, aged about 19 years, I year MBBS, H.T.No.966114, Chandra Ananda Rao Institute of Medical Sciences, Karimnagar, and another … Petitioners And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Represented by its Principal Secretary, Department of Medical Education, Secretariat, Hyderabad, and others … Respondents Order: Petitioners herein are students of M.B.B.S. course in the fifth respondent-College, affiliated to the second respondent- Dr.NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada. They appeared for first year examinations which were held in the month of July/August, 2010. On declaration of results, they found that they could not secure minimum passing marks in the subjects of Anatomy and Physiology. First petitioner secured 4 marks less than the minimum passing marks in Anatomy and 7 marks less in Physiology. Second petitioner secured 5 marks and 3 marks less in Anatomy and Physiology respectively than the minimum passing marks. It is stated that, as the petitioners were dissatisfied with the marks secured by them, they applied for recounting of marks on the answer scripts in the aforesaid subjects and on verifying the answer scripts they found that no marks were awarded for several questions. It is their grievance that they approached respondents 2 and 3 and also submitted a representation requesting for revaluation of their answer scripts in Anatomy and Physiology, but no action has yet been initiated. Hence, they filed the present writ petition seeking to direct the respondents to take steps for revaluation of their answer sheets in Anatomy and Physiology. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of respondents 2 to 4. A copy of order dated 07-10-2010 passed by this Court in W.P.Nos.25183 and 25525 of 2010 is filed along with the material papers. A learned single Judge of this Court, in identical circumstances, by the aforesaid order, disposed of the writ petitions in view of the decision taken by him dealing with a similar question in W.P.No.379 of 2008 by judgment dated 16-04-2008, wherein NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, was directed to constitute Students Grievance Redressal Committee, comprising of 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. Based on the judgment in W.P.No.379 of 2008, W.P.Nos.25183 and 25525 of 2010 were disposed of directing the Committee to be constituted to reexamine the answer scripts of the petitioners therein and to take further steps in the matter. When the matter is taken up, it is submitted by the learned Standing Counsel for respondents 2 to 4 that pursuant to the directions of this Court referred above, a Students Grievance Redressal Committee has been constituted and whenever representations are made with regard to revaluation, it is decided to get the answer scripts examined by the said Committee. Although petitioners seek directions to the respondents to reevaluate their answer scripts on the ground that though they fared well in the examinations they could not secure minimum passing marks, it is well settled that unless academic regulations framed by the University provide revaluation, no directions can be issued to get the answer scripts revaluated. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the earlier orders of this Court in W.P.No.379 of 2008 and W.P.Nos.25183 and 25525 of 2010, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent-University to place the answer scripts of the petitioners also in the subjects of Anatomy and Physiology for examination by the Grievance Redressal Committee which is stated to have been constituted by the respondent-University in view of the directions issued by this Court. After such examination is completed and report is filed by the said Committee, the respondent-University shall decide the matter afresh and communicate its conclusion/decision to the petitioners. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________ (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) October 27, 2010 N.B. C.C. in 2 days B.O. MRR
