On the basis of his performance in the entrance examination, he was allotted a seat in S.V. Government Polytechnic, Tirupathi, Chittoor, the third respondent. When he reported for admission, he was informed that he ought to have joined before 03-08-2005 and since he did not turn up within that time, the seat was allotted to somebody else. The petitioner states that the authority, who selected him and allotted a seat in the said college, informed him that he can report for admission before 25-08-2005, whereas the fourth respondent made a fresh entry by substituting the date as 03-08-2005. He seeks appropriate directions in the matter. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Technical Education. A perusal of the provisional allotment order issued by the second respondent discloses that he did not care to verify whether the correct dates are entered in it. The allotment letter was signed on 23-07-2005, whereas it was indicated that the classes would commence from 25-08-2004. The heading of the letter discloses that it is for Diploma in Pharmacy Admission for 2004. This only discloses the lethargy on the one hand and dependence on the computers to the level of laziness. On account of this, the petitioner, who hails from a village in Warangal District, was not only required to make rounds around various authorities, but also to approach this Court. After verification from the respondents, the learned Government Pleader submits that there is a vacant seat in the third respondent college and that they are prepared to admit the petitioner. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is allowed directing that the third respondent shall admit the petitioner against the vacant seat forthwith. The petitioner shall report to the third respondent college, within one week from today. It is also represented to the Court that in case, the petitioner reports to the third respondent college within one week, they would admit him without insisting on production of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 16th SEPTEMBER, 2005. Note: furnish c.c. in three days. B/o kvni
