THE HONOURABLE SHRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 7910 OF 2005 Dated 21st April, 2006 Between: Krrovviddi NS Nikhil … Petitioner And Controller of Examinations, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Masab Tank, Hyderabad And another. … Respondents. ORDER: The petitioner, a student, who is pursuing B.Tech. Course is detained in second semester of second year on the ground that he had only 62.87% of attendance. To that effect, the Principal has communicated vide his letter dated: 12-4-2006. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that he sufferred with typhoid fever and as such he could not attend for some period, for which, he cannot be detained. However, the University has framed academic regulations according to which, the minimum requirement of attendance is 75% for allowing the students to write the examinations. There is also a provision to condone the shortage of attendance only to the maximum extent of 10%. It is submitted by the learned Standing Counsel for the University that at no point of time, on any ground, the University had considered to allow the students to write examinations who are having below 65% of attendance. Inasmuch as academic regulations will not permit to allow the petitioner, who does not even possess 65% of attendance, to write the examinations, I do not find any illegality in the communication given to the petitioner with regard to his attendance. The writ petition, therefore, is devoid of any merit and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _____________________ 21.4.2006 (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J.)
