Counsel for the Petitioner : Sri G. Vidyasagar Counsel for Respondent No.1 : Sri D.V. Nagarjuna Babu The Court made the following COMMON ORDER: In all these writ petitions, the grievance of the petitioners is that the grace marks have not been added to such of those students, who have failed in one out of the three subjects for which they appeared for part I of III M.B.B.S. course. Learned Standing Counsel for NTR University of Health Sciences submitted that the University has taken a decision to add grace marks in favour of such of those students, who have failed only in one subject, but passed the other two subjects and accordingly, declared their results also on 29th March 2008. In view of this, the cause in the writ petitions does not survive and, hence, these writ petitions are dismissed, but however, without costs. (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO,J) 31st March 2008 ksld .....
