THE HON'BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO.2142 OF 2005 Dated 09-11-2005 Between: Poodi Kameswara Rao …Appellant And Andhra University and another …Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO.2142 OF 2005 J U D G M E N T (Per the Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, ACJ): The Andhra University had a scheme by which the eligible candidates could pass B.A. degree course without going to colleges and by appearing only once to clear first, second and third year course. This scheme was known as ‘Single Sitting System’. The petitioner/appellant registered himself for the course and appeared for the examination for the first time in the year 1995. Up to 2000, he appeared ten times, but could not clear the examination. The scheme was discontinued on the instructions of the University Grants Commission with effect from 1997-98. However, the candidates those who have registered themselves already with the University were permitted to clear backlogs till 2000. The petitioner could not clear his backlogs up to the year 2000 and the scheme came to an end. But after the year 2000, he appeared for the third year B.A. under Distance Education Scheme and sat for examination for the left over subjects. Therefore, he contends that he has completed the course. The University after having allowed him to sit in the examination found that he was not at all eligible to appear in third year B.A. because that examination was available to those who have passed first and second year of B.A. separately. The learned Single Judge, in our view, was right in dismissing the writ petition and to hold that the petitioner has not passed B.A. examination and therefore, he is not entitled to any certificate. We do not find any merit in the writ appeal, which is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. _____________________ (Bilal Nazki, ACJ) 9th November, 2005 ___________________ (R.Subhash Reddy,J) vrn
