HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.9531 of 2011 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the action of the respondents 1 and 2 viz.,, the Registrar, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (J.N.T.U.), Hyderabad, and the Controller of Examinations, J.N.T.U., respectively, in detaining the petitioner in the second year B.Tech Course, as illegal. 2. The case of the petitioner is that he was admitted to the Civil Engineering Course in the 3rd respondent-College for the academic year 2009-2010. After completing the 1st year, he was permitted to pursue the second year in the academic year 2010-2011 and accordingly, completed the 1st semester. The examinations for the second semester for the second year were scheduled from 08-04- 2011. The grievance of the petitioner is that he was not given the hall ticket, purportedly, on the ground that he did not satisfy the requirement of minimum attendance. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri K.Ashok Reddy, at the hearing, fairly submits that the petitioner had only 35% attendance in the second semester. 4. As per Regulation 6 (iv) of the Academic Regulations, minimum 75% attendance is required. Regulation 5 (ii) of the Academic Regulations provides that condonation of shortage of attendance in aggregate up to 10% (65% and above and below 75%) in each semester of one year may be granted by the College Academic Committee. 5. In somewhat similar circumstances, a Division Bench of this Court in its judgment in B. Yugandhar Vs. The Principal, Kuppam Engineering College, Kuppam, Chittoor District and another[1], held as follows: “Even if the benefit of Regulation 5 (ii) was to be extended to the petitioner, he would not have been able to achieve the requirement of minimum 75% attendance in aggregate. Therefore, the learned single Judge did not commit any error by refusing to entertain his prayer and we do not see any reason to differ with him.” 6. In view of the same, as the petitioner did not satisfy the minimum required attendance, he is not entitled for the relief sought in this writ petition. 7. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. The interim orders granted by this Court on 11-04-2011 shall stand vacated. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 30 -08-2011 Note: Issue C.C. in one week. B/o. Kvr [1] 2008 (2) A.L.T. 529 (D.B.)
