THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH W.P. No. 4670 of 2003 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned standing counsel for the respondents. This writ petition has been filed for issuing writ of Mandamus directing the respondent authorities to permit the petitioner’s father to appear for counseling in place of the petitioner to be held on 23-03-2003 for admission into MBBS and BDS courses for 2002-03. The case of the petitioner is that she appeared for the 2002 EAMCET examination for admission into M.B.B.S. with EAMCET hall ticket No.3561295 and she secured 27648 rank. She has excellent record as NCC cadet. While so, the petitioner was selected for 2003 “Youth Exchange Programme”. The said programme was sought to be conducted by the NCC and for that purpose she has to go to Bangladesh, which was to be held on 11-03-2003 to 04-04-2003. The respondent authorities have issued paper notification calling for counseling of various candidates including NCC candidates. She is entitled to be counseled under the open category on 22-03-2003 and for NCC quota 23-03-2003. In view of the fact that she has to be in Bangladesh under the said programme, which is a prestige selection, she is unable to appear for counseling on 22 and 23-03-2003. Therefore, the petitioner sought for a direction to the respondent authorities to permit her father to appear for counseling in place of her. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this Court in similar matter in W.P. No.17446 of 2002 permitted the father of the petitioner to participate in the counseling for selection of the candidate for admission into the 1st year M.B.B.S. for the academic year 2002. This Court while issuing “Rule Nisi”, passed the interim direction dated 20-03-2003 in WPMP. No.6145 of 2003 as follows: “Since the petitioner has been selected for 2003 Youth Exchange Programme and she is participating the same at Bangladesh, the respondents are directed to allow the petitioner’s father, namely Sri P. Rajgopal Reddy to participate in the counseling for selection of the candidates under NCC quota on 22-03-2003 and 23-03-2003.” It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that pursuant to the interim order dated 20-03-2003 passed by this Court the father of the petitioner was allowed to appear for the counseling and subsequently the petitioner was got selected. In view of the interim direction passed by this Court, no further orders are required to be passed in this petition and the interim direction dated 20-03-2003 is made as final order. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________________ JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH Date: 05-07-2006 LSK
