Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.M.DAMODAR REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.1: MR.P.SREE RAMULU NAIDU The Court at the stage of admission made the following: ORDER: The present writ petition is filed challenging the action of the 2nd respondent College in not issuing hall ticket No.545206, as allotted by the 1st respondent University and also not permitting the petitioner to appear for 1st semester examination scheduled to be held from 28.01.2005. The petitioner alleges that he is studying M.Tech(TSAES) in the 2nd respondent College and attended the 2nd respondent college continuously except from 09.10.2004 to 10.12.2004 as he met with an accident and was under medical treatment. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the 1st respondent accepted his fee and allotted hall ticket No.545206, the 2nd respondent refused to hand over the hall ticket and is not permitting him to appear for 1st semester examination on the ground of shortage of attendance. Hence, the writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing Counsel, appearing for the 1st respondent. Both counsel agreed for disposal of the writ petition at the stage of admission. The petitioner has not chosen to file any material to the effect that he has approached the management or the university to condone the shortage of attendance and to permit him to appear for the examination. Whether the shortage of attendance is condonable or not has to be looked into by the University. In such view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition permitting the petitioner to file a representation seeking condonation of shortage of attendance before the first respondent. On filing such representation, the first respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
