PETITIONER(S) AND 1 The Director of Medical Education, Government of A.P., Sultan Bazar, Hyderabad. 2 The Board of Examination for General Nursing, Rep. by its Registrar, Sultan Bazar, Hyderabad. 3 Sri Padmavathi School of Nursing, rep. by its Correspondent Smt.P.sulochana, .....RESPONDENTS Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Aﬃdavit ﬁled herein the High Court will be pleased to issue a writ of mandamus directing the oﬃcial respondents herein to receive the applications for the petitioner herein through the unoﬃcial respondents and allow the petitioners to take the 1st year General Nursing examination scheduled to be held from the 21st August, 2006, by declaring the action of the respondents in not doing so as arbitrary and illegal and pass. Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.ANANTHA RAO Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR MEDICAL HEALTH & FAMI.WELFARE The Court made the following : ORDER This writ petition has been ﬁled by the petitioners, who are thirty seven in number, with a prayer to issue a writ of Mandamus to direct the oﬃcial respondents to receive the applications of the petitioners and to allow them to appear ﬁrst year General Nursing examination scheduled to be held from 21st August, 2006. Rule Nisi came to be issued on 25.8.2006 and on the same day, WPMP No.21501 of 2006 came to be rejected, and the order reads as under: “As much as, it is submitted by the learned Government pleader appearing for the respondents 1 and 2 that the third respondent College is not functioning for the last ten years and names of the petitioners are not approved, no direction can be given to permit the petitioners to write examinations. Post WPMP after one week.” The relief sought for in this writ petition has become infructuous. Despite the matter being listed under the caption ‘for orders,’ there is no representation on behalf of the petitioners. It indicates that the petitioners are not interested in pursuing the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. No costs. __________ 30-07-2008 rkk
