THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 3316 of 2009 O R D E R : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the 1st respondent in not issuing the duplicate Transfer Certificate to the writ petitioner so as to enable her to appear for the 1st year Intermediate Public Examinations for the Academic Year 2008-09 in the 3rd respondent College as arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner, a minor, represented by her mother and natural guardian, passed 10th Class in the 1st respondent school at Tirupati. Thereafter, she along with her mother shifted to Warangal and she joined the 3rd respondent college in the 1st year Intermediate. It is alleged that the mother and father of the petitioner are not in good terms and on account of the strained relationship the father of the petitioner though obtained original Transfer Certificate from the 1st respondent school did not furnish the same to the petitioner. In the circumstances, she could not produce the Transfer Certificate at the time of her admission in the 1st year Intermediate in the 3rd respondent college. Though the petitioner was allowed her to prosecute her studies, the 3rd respondent college refused to receive the examination fee for the 1st year Intermediate Public Examination from the petitioner on the ground that she failed to submit her Transfer Certificate at the time of her admission. As a matter of fact, by that time, the petitioner’s application for issuance of a duplicate Transfer Certificate was pending with the 1st respondent. Since the examinations were fast approaching and the duplicate Transfer certificate was not issued, the petitioner field the present writ petition seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents, more particularly the action of the 1st respondent in not issuing the duplicate transfer certificate so as to enable her to appear the first year Intermediate Public Examinations for the academic year 2008-09 as arbitrary and illegal. Notice before admission was ordered by this Court on 27.2.2009 and thereafter, the 1st respondent issued a duplicate Transfer Certificate in March, 2009. Though the said certificate was submitted to the 3rd respondent college, the petitioner could not appear for the 1st year Intermediate Public Examinations held in the month of March, 2009 since there was no sufficient time. However, the petitioner intends to appear for the Advanced Supplementary Examinations scheduled to be conducted from 20.05.2009 onwards and made a representation before the 2nd respondent to allow her to appear for the said examinations. I have heard the learned counsel for both the parties. Having regard to the fact that a duplicate Transfer Certificate was already issued by the 1st respondent and the same was submitted by the writ petitioner before the 3rd respondent College, no further enquiry is necessary in the writ petition. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner states that keeping in view that the Advanced Supplementary Examinations for the 1st year Intermediate students are scheduled to be conducted from 20.05.2009 onwards, the petitioner made a representation before the 2nd respondent on 21.4.2009 with a request to consider her case sympathetically and direct the 3rd respondent to allow her for the Advanced Supplementary Examinations and having received the same the 3rd respondent was directed to take appropriate action. Though the question whether the petitioner is eligible to appear for the Advanced Supplementary Examinations is beyond the scope of the present writ petition, since the petitioner made a representation dated 21.04.2009, without expressing any opinion as to her entitlement, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents 2 and 3 to consider the said request of the petitioner and to take appropriate action in accordance with law. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 22-04-2009 gbs
