HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8595 of 2011 Date: 30.03.2011 Between : V. Muralidhar Reddy. …….Petitioner And Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, rep. by its Registrar & another. ….Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8595 of 2011 ORDER : In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in not allowing him to write the II Semester examinations of B.Tech III year, commencing from 01.04.2011, as illegal and arbitrary. According to the petitioner, he is possessing 63.77% of attendance in the II Semester of B.Tech III year. It is his case that as per the academic regulations of the University, a student has to put in a minimum of 75% attendance, in order to be eligible to write the examinations. It is also stated that there is power to condone only to an extent of 10%. However, it is the grievance of the petitioner that as he fell sick for some days, he could not attend the college and could not acquire the minimum percentage of attendance to write the examinations. When there is academic regulation framed by the University, which requires 75% attendance with power to condone only to an extent of 10%, this Court cannot issue any directions, which runs contrary to such regulation of the University. As it is not in dispute that the petitioner is possessing only 63.77% of attendance, I do not find any merit in this writ petition, for grant of directions as prayed for. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 30th March 2011 ajr
