THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.21508 of 2009 October 14, 2009 Between: Shaik Rahaman, S/o.Saidulu …Petitioner and The Vice Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies, JNTU Campus, Masab Tank, Hyderabad And another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.21508 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioner passed X class (SSC) from Sri Raviteja Public High School, S.Kota, Vizianagaram District. She secured 86% marks aggregate in X class public examination. She applied for 6 Year Integrated B.Tech Course in A.P.I.I.I.T conducted by the respondents, claiming reservation under BC-E category. She was not admitted. Aggrieved thereby she filed instant writ petition. She contends that as per admission procedure, seven (7) seats are earmarked for BC-E category of Vizianagaram District and that respondents selected only four candidates, and therefore, she is entitled to be admitted in I Year B.Tech in second respondent. A counter affidavit is filed by the Registrar of Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies. The allegations made by petitioner are not denied. It is however stated that to the seats allocated to private Management Schools under BC-E category last candidate selected secured 86.5% whereas the petitioner secured 86.0% and for that reason, she is not selected for admission. Admittedly seven seats earmarked for BC-E candidates of Vizianagaram District have not filled up. Learned Standing Counsel has placed before this Court the select list. Three candidates of BC-E category from Government Schools are selected. They secured 79.8%, 74.8% and 60.7% and one candidate from private Management School secured 86.5%. As per Rule 2(c) of Admission Procedure, Rural seats have to be distributed in the ratio of 70%, 20% and 10% to Government, Private and Residential Schools. The candidates from Residential and Government Schools seeking admission under BC-E category are not available. Therefore, instead of keeping the seats vacant, the case of petitioner can be considered as she has got 86%, which is certainly more percentage than the candidates from Government schools secured and got admission. By this method, there would not be any excess quota than earmarked for BC-E category. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of, directing respondents to consider the case of petitioner for admission under BC-E category, as she is one of the candidates as per the merit list prepared by respondents. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) October 14, 2009 NOTE: Dispatch order copy by 19.10.2009. (By order) YS
