THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.No. 17172 OF 2010 ORDER: Heard Sri G.Vidya Sagar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Nagarjuna Babu Duba, learned Standing Counsel for Dr.NTR University of Health Sciences – Respondent No.1 herein. Though this writ petition has been filed for declaring the action of the respondents in not permitting the petitioner to write Bio-Chemistry examination of MBBS 1st year as irrational, I find that the action of the 1st respondent – University is in tune with the stipulations contained in the regulations framed by Medical Council of India. Every student who is pursuing MBBS Degree course is required to put in 75% of attendance and he should also secure certain percentage of marks in the internal examinations. On both these counts, the writ petitioner has not satisfied the requirements. Therefore, no exception can be taken to the action of the respondent University in not permitting him to appear for the Bio- Chemistry examination. The writ petitioner is therefore entitled to pursue Bio-Chemistry course of 1st year again and upon satisfactory performance at the internal examinations and after putting in 75% of attendance, he may be permitted to appear for the supplementary examinations/main examination of the next year’s batch. The writ petition is therefore dismissed with the above observation. No costs. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J Knk 8th October 2010
