Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.SRIMAN Counsel for the Respondents: MR.D.V.NAGARJUNA BABU The Court made the following Order: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.17451 of 2005 ORDER: The petitioner is a post-graduate in medical education. He completed M.S. (General Surgery) from Osmania Medical College and he belongs to Osmania University local area as per the Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admissions) Order 1974 (Presidential Order). He appeared for entrance test for admission to super speciality course in M.Ch (Neuro Surgery) and secured third rank. Out of four seats available in M.Ch (Neuro Surgery) according to the petitioner the seat earmarked for Osmania University local area must be given to him. His grievance is that in spite of doing so, ﬁrst respondent university admitted second respondent, who secured second rank to the seat earmarked for Osmania University contrary to Post Graduate (Super Speciality) Rules. According to the petitioner second respondent ought to have been admitted against the seat which was kept unreserved as per proviso to para 6(2) of Presidential Order. This Court, while admitting the writ petition on 17.08.2005, was not inclined to pass any interim order directing first respondent university to grant provisional admission to the petitioner in ﬁrst year M.Ch (Neuro Surgery) course in Osmania Medical College. In view of the fact that no interim order is granted it appears that second respondent already completed the course and subsequent to ﬁling of the writ petition other admissions were also taken up for subsequent academic years. In that view of the matter, the question raised herein has become academic. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to consider the same. The prayer in the writ petition has thus become infructuous. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 16th October, 2008 GHN To 1 The N.T.R.
