It is fairly conceded by Sri C. Sudesh Anand, learned standing counsel appearing for the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education, that the matter is covered by the judgment dated 20.11.2009 passed by this Court in W.P.No.24581 of 2009 and batch. A copy of the said order is placed on record and indicates that where the approval was refused on the ground that the student did not hail from this State, the same would be unsustainable in law. The learned Judge further observed that once students hold the qualification prescribed under the Rules, they would be entitled to pursue the course. Following the aforestated judgment, the Writ Petition is allowed directing the respondents to approve the admission of the petitioner without reference to his not belonging to the State of Andhra Pradesh, subject to his fulfilling other requirements for eligibility to continue the B.Tech. course in Madeena Engineering College, Kadapa. In the circumstances, there shall be no order as to costs. ___________________________ JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR July 14, 2010 Note: Issue C.C. in five days.
