Counsel for the Petitioner:. Counsel for the Respondent : MRS.S.NANDA FOR R24.08.06,VAK-2 The Court made the following : ORDER This writ petition has been ﬁled assailing the action of the 1st respondent in not including the Post Graduation Centre at Etcherla, Srikakulam in the approved list for admission of the students of LL.B. III year Degree Course for the academic year 2006-2007. An interim order came to be passed on 28.09.2006 in WPMP No.22201 of 2006 and the order reads as hereunder: “Though petitioner has ﬁled detailed representation even after rejection of aﬃliation by the BCI, the same was rejected on technical grounds. The only substantial objection raised is that of accommodation. But, earlier, it was reported that accommodation is sufficient. Prima facie, there appears no reason for rejection of affiliation to the petitioner-University. There shall be interim direction as prayed for. Notice. “ Subsequently, a vacate stay petition being WVMP No.1980 of 2006 came to be ﬁled by the 1st and 2nd respondents. The said vacate stay petition came to be disposed of on 9.3.2007. The order in the vacate stay petition reads as hereunder: “The Andhra University ﬁled this writ petition when students were not allotted by the Convenor for its Post Graduation Centre at Etcherla, Srikakulam for LL.B. 3 year Degree Course for the academic year 2006-2007. This Court by order dated 28.9.2006 issued directions for allotment of students, and, now, it is stated that the students were allotted and they are pursuing the course. It is also to be noted that the Post Graduate Centre itself is run by the University. The said college is a University college and at the ﬁrst instance, the aﬃliation was granted for the year 2000 and from that year onwards, the University is continuously running it. Inasmuch as it is stated that the students were already allotted and are pursuing the course, I do not ﬁnd any ground to vacate the order at this stage. The order dated 28.9.2006 is made absolute. However, if there are any deﬁciencies, it is open for the competent authorities to point out the same for compliance by the writ petitioner.” The very relief sought for in this writ petition is in respect of admission of the students of LL.B. III year Degree Course for the academic year 2006-2007. By virtue of the interim order passed in WPMP No.22201 of 2006, students have been allotted to Post Graduation Centre at Etcherla, Srikakulam of the petitioner-University. Such is the situation, no cause in this writ petition survives for further adjudication. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as redundant. No costs. __________ 06-08-2008 rkk
