The 1st respondent-University is not allowing him to appear for the examinations as he has fallen in short of the requisite 75% of attendance. 2. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the case of the petitioner herein is a very unfortunate one inasmuch as he has taken ill because of viral hepatitis requiring medical attention on an emergency basis. Consequently, the writ petitioner could not put in the requisite attendance during the first semester of the 4th year B.Tech course. 3. It is open to the petitioner to make a representation to the 1st respondent-University to condone the requisite percentage of attendance in his case in view of his medical condition. But at the same time, according to the submission of the learned counsel for the 1st respondent-University, the 1st respondent-University is entitled to keep in mind the principle enunciated by the Division Bench of this Court in B.Yugandhar Vs. Principal, Kuppam Engineering College, Kuppam, Chittoor District[1]. Therefore, the petitioner’s representation has to be dealt with appropriately and he be accorded the necessary relief taking into account all factors including the principle enunciated by the Division Bench of this Court in Yugandhar’s case (cited supra). 4. The writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J 10th November 2010 kvr [1] 2008 (2) A.L.T. 529
