THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SRI ANIL R. DAVE AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA W.P.No.20670 of 2007 Dated 22nd Day of January, 2008 Between: B.V.M. Prasad and another .. Petitioners And N.T.R.University of Health Sciences, rep. by its Registrar, Vijayawada and two others .. Respondents O R D E R:- (Per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice) The first petitioner is a medical student whereas the second petitioner is his father. When the petition was filed, petitioner No.1 was suffering from serious disease and because of his ailment, he was in depression. It was the case of the petitioners that because of the disease with which petitioner No.1 was suffering, he required medical as well as parental care. Parents of petitioner No.1 are doctors and, therefore, they thought it proper to keep petitioner No.1 with them. Petition No.1 had to appear at his final year M.B.B.S. examination Part-II at Government Medical College at Anantapur, but his parents were staying at Warangal. A prayer was made in the miscellaneous petition that petitioner No.1 be permitted to appear his final year M.B.B.S. examination at Government Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal instead of Government Medical College at Anantapur. By an interim order, this Court had directed that as a special case, petitioner No.1 be permitted to appear in the examination at Warangal instead of at Anantapur. It was also directed that the result of petitioner No.1 should be withheld. Now the examinations are over. In the interest of justice, petitioner No.1 was permitted to appear at a different center as an exceptional case. We do note the fact that ordinarily, a student is supposed to appear at the center fixed by the educational institution, but, in order to see that the studies of petitioner No.1 are not adversely affected, as a special case, this Court had permitted petitioner No.1 to write his examination at a different center. As petitioner No.1 had already appeared for his final year examination, in our opinion, it would not be necessary to go into the reasons, but suffice is to say that as his case was an exceptional one, this Court had permitted him to appear at a different center. This order shall not be treated as a precedent because, in rarest of rare cases such change of center is permitted. In view of the fact that petitioner No.1 has already appeared for his final year M.B.B.S. examination Part II at Government Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal, we direct the respondents to declare his results within a fortnight. In view of the above development, the writ petition is allowed to the extent indicated. No order as to costs. ANIL R. DAVE, CJ January 22, 2008 GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J bcj/svs
