IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD HON’BLE Mr. JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.5965 of 2006 Dated: March 28, 2006 Between: T. Gnana Sagar, S/o. T. Venkatesham, aged about 19 years, Student, R/o. Siddipet, Medak District. … Petitioner And The Registrar, Osmania University, Hyderabad, and two others. … Respondents Order: This Writ Petition has been filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus to direct the respondents 1 and 2 to receive the examination fee and issue Hall Ticket to the petitioner to appear for some of the subjects in the first and second year of B.Com. course. 2. The petitioner, a student studying B.Com. course in the third respondent college, was not promoted to the third year as he did not have sufficient credits; he had five backlogs in the first year and second year together. To write the aforesaid examinations, the university has notified the dates and the last date for submission of the filled-in application form along with the requisite fee was 26-02-2006, and with penalty, the application could be submitted till 22-03-2006. It is the case of the petitioner that he had submitted a representation to the second respondent stating he was unable to pay the examination fee in time and requested to permit him to appear for first and second year examinations. 3. Admittedly, the petitioner did not file his application as per the procedure through the third respondent college either before 26-02-2006 without penalty, or before 22- 03-2006 with penalty. Though it is stated that the petitioner has submitted representation dated 27-02-2006, even by that time, petitioner could have as well paid the fee and submitted his application form, but he failed to do so. It is stated that the aforesaid examinations have already commenced from 27-03-2006. In that view of the matter, no direction as sought for can be given at this stage. But, however, it is stated that there is a provision for the petitioner writing instant examinations. If the petitioner is eligible as per the academic regulations, respondents shall consider his case for writing instant examinations. 4. The Writ Petition is disposed of with the above observations. No order as to costs. ____________________________ JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY. March 28, 2006 MRR
