THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 26762 of 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner claims to have studied M.B.B.S. Course in Gandhi Medical College, Secunderabad. After completion of the Course, he intended to go abroad for further studies. In the passport as well as other documents, his full name is mentioned as Vinay Gopal Nidadavolu, whereas, in the college records, his name is mentioned as Vinay Gopal N. Stating that the various systems are not accepting the testimonials of the petitioner, who is named as Vinay Gopal N, he filed a representation, dated 29.11.2008, requesting the second respondent to clarify that the full name of the petitioner is Vinay Gopal Nidadavolu. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner is facing some problem in the context of the accuracy of his name. In the school and college records, his name is reflected as Vinay Gopal N. While applying for passport, he has furnished his full name without any abbreviation and the passport would be in the same name. The petitioner was issued a passport with his name as Vinay Gopal Nidadavolu. This name was mentioned in the correspondence of the petitioner with the agencies abroad. However, inasmuch as the certificates and the memoranda of marks are issued in the name of Vinay Gopal N, the petitioner is facing certain problems. In case the records of the college disclose any full form of the abbreviation ‘N’, there must not have been any difficulty in certifying the same. The application submitted by the petitioner cannot be kept pending indefinitely, particularly when the study programmes abroad have their own schedule. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to pass appropriate orders on the application, dated 29.11.2008, of the petitioner, within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:12.12.2008. Note: Issue cc in three days. (B/o) kdl
