THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.24751 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is a student of IV Year Engineering. The examinations of first semester are scheduled to be held from 16.11.2009. The petitioner was not issued hall ticket on the ground that she does not have the prescribed percentage of attendance. The petitioner challenges the action of the respondents in not permitting her to appear in the examination. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. It is not in dispute that the minimum percentage stipulated by the University to enable a student to appear in the examination is 75%. The Vice-chancellor is conferred with the discretion to condone the shortage by 10%. It means that it is only a candidate who has put in atleast 65% attendance, that can expect the facility of appearing in the examination, assuming that the Vice- Chancellor uses his discretion. In the instant case, the attendance of the petitioner is 45%. Even if there exist valid reasons or justification for the petitioner in not having the requisite attendance, what becomes material is the undergoing of instructions in the institution. Therefore, no relief can be granted to the petitioner. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 13.11.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.24751 of 2009 Date: 13.11.2009 JSU
