THE HONOURABLE SHRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 3902 OF 2006 Dated 13th April, 2006 Between: Dudipala Subhash Reddy … Petitioner And NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, Krishna District represented by its Registrar and another. … Respondents. ORDER: The petitioner who is prosecuting his M.D. Course in Dermatology, Venerology and Leprosy, has filed this writ petition seeking a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in sending the answer paper of the petitioner in the subject of Basic Sciences to an unqualified person for the purpose of evaluation as illegal. It is the case of the petitioner that his answer scripts of basic sciences paper were sent to a Professor of M.D. (Venerology) who is not having any qualification in Dermatology and the paper attempted by the petitioner in basic sciences had 9 questions in Dermatology and one in Venerology and a person holding a qualified degree in Dermatology only can evaluate the paper. From the averments in the counter affidavit and the additional counter affidavit, it is clear that the said paper was evaluated by one Dr. P.Jaya Shankar, a Professor in the Department of Skin, JIPMER, Pondicherry who is qualified in M.D. (Dermatology). Though a direction is sought by the learned counsel for the petitioner to call for the record, but, there is no reason to call for the records, inasmuch as, in the counter and the additional counter affidavit filed on behalf of the University, it is clearly stated that the person who has evaluated the Basic Sciences paper of the petitioner holds a degree in Dermatology. No other issue arises for consideration in this writ petition. The writ petition is devoid of merits and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ______________________ 2006. (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J.) VR.
