HON’BLE SRI G.S. SINGHVI, THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V. SEETHAPATHY WRIT PETITION No. 5038 OF 2005 Between: Dr. M. Dayanandam ……Petitioner And NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, rep. by its Registrar and two others ……Respondents :: ORDER :: Counsel for the Petitioner : Sri M. Venkatram Reddy Counsel for Respondent No.1 : Sri D.V. Nagarjuna Babu Counsel for Respondent Nos.2 and 3 : Government Pleader for Medical, Health and Family Welfare Dated: 05-06-2006 Per G.S. SINGHVI, CJ In this petition, the petitioner has prayed for striking down Rule 4 of the Andhra Pradesh Regulation of Admission into the Master of Dental Surgery Courses in the Government Dental College and Hospital, Hyderabad Rules, 1985 (for short ‘the Rules’). The principal ground on which the petitioner has challenged the constitutionality of the impugned rule is that the same does not provide for reservation for physically handicapped persons in the matter of admission to Post-Graduate Course in Dental Surgery and this is clearly violative of the provisions contained in The Persons with Disabilities (Equal opportunities, Protection and Rights Full Participation) Act, 1995. At the hearing of the case, the learned Government Pleader for Medical and Health produced a copy of G.O.Ms.No.120, dated 13-4- 2006 by which proviso to Rule 4 has been amended whereby a provision has been made for reservation of one seat for physically challenged person in the available specialties of Master and Dental Surgery Courses. Copy of the G.O. has been made available to the learned counsel for the petitioner, who says that his client is satisfied with the amendment made by the State Government. In view of the above development, the writ petition is disposed of as infructuous. As a sequel to the disposal of the main writ petition, W.P.M.P No.4467 of 2006 is disposed of as infructuous.
