THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY DATED: 17-10-2005 WRIT PETITION No.20564 OF 2005 Between: Excellent Junior College Students Association . . .Petitioner And The APSRTC and another . . .Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20564 OF 2005 O R D E R: The petitioner is an association of students in a private junior college. It is stated that the students studying in the private colleges hail from villages around Mahabubabad of Warangal District. Their grievance is that the respondents are not issuing concessional student bus passes to them. Sri S.Satyam Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the junior college has been extended the recognition by the Board of Intermediate Education and at present, as many as 850 students are studying in the college. He contends that there is no justification for the respondents in not issuing bus passes. Learned Standing Counsel for the respondents, on the other hand, submits that in the year 1999 when similar grievance is made out, the enquiry revealed that virtually, there were no admissions in the college and in fact, W.P.No.11586 of 1999 filed by the same association was dismissed recently. The petitioner association contends that the junior college, in which its members are studying, holds recognition and at present, 850 students were admitted during the current academic year. It is true that in WP.No.11586 of 1999, this Court took note of the fact that virtually, there were no admissions and declined to grant any relief. The question as to whether there is any improvement in the admissions and whether there exists any affiliation in favour of the said junior college, needs to be verified. However, if it emerges that there are genuine admissions to a considerable number, the respondents shall be under obligation to extend the facility as per the scheme evolved by them. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that in case, the recognition for Excellent Junior College, Mahabubabad, subsists for the current academic year and substantial seats in the college are filled up, the respondents shall extend the facility of concessional bus passes to the students admitted in the said college. For this purpose, the respondents shall take into account the list of admitted candidates approved by the Regional Inspecting Office. _________________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 17th OCTOBER, 2005.
