THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION No. 23960 of 2007 DATED: 13-11-2007 Between: Swakin Arjula …Petitioner and S.R.Engineering College, rep. by its Principal/Correspondent, Ananthasagar, Warangal and others …Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 23960 of 2007 Oral order: This writ petition is directed against the order dated 24-10-2007 of the 1st respondent declaring the petitioner, a III year B.Tech I-Semester ECE student, detained on account of shortage of attendance. The petitioner states that he was involved in a road accident, there was a fracture to both the bones of right fore arm and he also sustained other grievous injuries and was therefore confined to bed from 7-8-2007 to 5-10-2007. He recommenced his attendance of classes from 6-10-2007. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the attendance of the petitioner at the I-Semester in the III year is only 50 per cent. Since even after condonation on medical grounds, the minimum attendance required by the University Attendance Regulations is 65 per cent and the petitioner falls well short of the said minimum percentage of attendance requisite to enable and qualify a candidate to appear for the examination, the petitioner is rightly detained. No relief can be granted in the circumstances. The writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J 13-11-2007 GRR
