The petitioner states that he secured rank No.482 in the LLM Entrance Test conducted on 14.10.2001 and pursuant to the same, he was allotted with a seat in LL.M. (Labour Law) day course in University College of Law and he paid the fee and obtained the admit card. He further states that at the time of admission of his application and the date of LL.M. Entrance Test, he did not hold the LL.B. Degree Certificate and he completed the same on 2.11.2001. The petitioner further states that the second respondent vide impugned proceedings dated 18.12.2001 cancelled the admission of the petitioner into LL.M. course on the ground that the petitioner passed the LL.B. examination only in the month of November 2001, but as per eligibility conditions, he is required to be passed on or before 13th September 2001. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. In the counter affidavit filed by the respondents, it is stated that the cut-off date for acquiring the Degree Certificate is 13.9.2001 and the petitioner has acquired the qualification in the month of November 2001 and therefore, he is not eligible for admission into LL.M. course. It is further stated that the admission of the petitioner was only provisional and the University has the right to scrutinize the admission and cancel at any stage. It is also stated that as the petitioner is not a Law Graduate as on the cut-off date i.e.13.9.2001, his provisional admission was cancelled by impugned proceedings dated 18.12.2001. In para 8 of the counter affidavit, it is stated that in any view of the matter, all the seats were filled up and there is no vacancy for the petitioner. For the foregoing reasons, I am of the view that no orders are required to be passed in the writ petition and therefore, the same is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ N.V.RAMANA, J Date: 23.6.2005 DA To 1 The Vice Chancellor, Osmania Unversity, Hyderabad. 2 The Director, Directorate of Admissions, Osmania Unversity, Hyderabad. 3 The Registrar, Osmania Unversity, Hyderabad. 4 Two CD copies.
