HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.14893 of 2009 ORDER : The two petitioners in this writ petition, who are admitted to the under-graduate course in distance education mode offered by the 2nd respondent-University, seek directions to the respondents to extend further opportunity to them to appear for the examinations of backlog subjects. 2. It is their case that though the academic Regulations contemplate for completion of the course within double the duration of the course, but in view of the orders issued by the 2nd respondent-University in Proceedings No.1715/M/Acad/08, dated 09.09.2008, they are entitled to clear-off their backlog subjects, even after the said double duration period. 3. A perusal of the order, dated 09.09.2008, shows that the said order is passed, based on the recommendations made by the Committee constituted by the University, with a view to give one more chance to those students who have crossed the double duration period, to clear-off all the backlog subjects in the post-graduate and under-graduate courses, in a further period of two years, only as a one- time measure. 4. So far as the petitioners are concerned, they were to complete the course by 2002, as they were admitted in the year 1994, and the duration of the course for which they were admitted is of three years. Therefore, even accepting the plea of the petitioners as it is, they do not fit into the benefit notified by the 2nd respondent-University in Proceedings No.1715/M/Acad/08, dated 09.09.2008. Even by extending the double duration of the Course and further two years also, they are not entitled to write the examinations. As such, granting of any directions to permit the petitioners to appear for the examinations, run contrary to the academic regulations framed by the 2nd respondent- University. 5. For the aforesaid reasons, I do not find any merit in the writ petition, which is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 24th July 2009 kvr/ajr
