THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.26564 of 2011 ORDER : The petitioner is a student of 3rd respondent-college, studying 1st year engineering course in Information Technology. The 1st year annual examination was held in the month of June, 2011. The petitioner was allotted Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology for writing the examination. The Chief Superintendent of the said centre submitted a complaint dated 25-06-2011 alleging that the petitioner was involved in an act of malpractice by appearing in the examination by impersonation. Taking cognizance of the same, the malpractice committee issued a show cause notice dated 24-08-2011 calling upon the petitioner to submit his reply and adduce evidence fixing 29-08-2011 as the date of hearing. The petitioner states that he appeared before the committee on the said date, but ever since then, the malpractice committee has not taken any decision in the matter so far. Since the enquiry has been pending against the petitioner, it appears that he has not been permitted to attend the classes for the 2nd year course. He has therefore filed this writ petition seeking a Mandamus to permit him to attend the classes and sit for examinations. Heard Sri A.Ravinder Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Deepak Bhattacharjee, learned standing counsel for Osmania University, appearing for Respondents 1 and 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that even though the petitioner has approached this Court for permission to attend the classes, it would suffice that if the enquiry initiated be directed to be concluded within a reasonable time. Indisputably, the enquiry was initiated by issuing show cause notice dated 24-08-2011 and the matter was heard by the malpractice committee on 29-08-2011 and considerable time has elapsed since then. There does not appear to be any valid reason for not taking final action in the matter. Matters of this nature, which involve career of students, require expeditious attention and disposal. In view of the above, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the 2nd Respondent - Controller of Examinations, Osmania University to take an appropriate decision taking into consideration the report of the malpractice committee and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of the receipt of a copy of the order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 03rd November, 2011. skmr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.26564 of 2011 Date : 03-11-2011 Between : Mirza Burhan Baig ..
