THE HONOURABLE SHRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 12148 OF 2007 Dated 10th July, 2007 Between: K.V.Nagendra and another. …Petitioners. And Dr.N.T.R. University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, represented by its Registrar and others. …Respondents. ORAL ORDER: The petitioners who appeared for the examinations of B.Sc. (Medical Lab Technology) seek a declaration that the action of the respondents 1 and 2 in including some questions in Microbiology paper, for which 44 marks are earmarked, from outside the syllabus is illegal and arbitrary. The learned Standing Counsel for the respondent-University has produced written instructions, in which, it is stated that when some complaints were received stating that questions to the tune of 44 marks were out of syllabus, a committee was constituted by the University and the Committee after examination found that questions to the extent of 28 marks were outside the syllabus. Based on the recommendation of the Committee, the answer scripts were valued for 52 marks. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that still some more questions were there from out of syllabus. However, as much as the Committee of subject experts examined the issue on the complaints received and opined that only questions to the tune of 28 marks were outside the syllabus, there is no substance in the contention of the counsel for the petitioners. Moreover, except the assessment of the petitioners, there is no other material placed in support of the pleading that more number of questions were framed from outside the syllabus. Accordingly, the writ petition is devoid of merits and is dismissed. No costs. _____________________ 10-7-2007 R.SUBHASH REDDY, J. VR
