THE HONOURABLE SHRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 27394 OF 2006 Dated 5th January, 2007 Between: Soma Prasanna …Petitioner And The Registrar, Osmania University, Osmania University Campus, Hyderabad and others. … Respondents. ORAL ORDER: The petitioner in this writ petition is seeking issuance of a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not allowing the petitioner to attend the classes of III Year B.Sc. course as illegal and arbitrary. After instructions, it is submitted by the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent-University that the petitioner has completed first and second years, but did not pass in all the subjects of the said years and there are five backlog subjects, which are yet to be cleared. It is further submitted that as per the academic regulations, the students with only two backlog subjects will be allowed to the III year. As it is stated that the academic regulations permit the students who are having up to two backlog subjects to attend the classes of III year, it cannot be said that the action of the respondents is illegal or arbitrary. It is well settled that no direction can be given, which runs contrary to the academic regulations of a University. For the above reasons, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. _____________________ 5.1.2007 R.SUBHASH REDDY, J. VR
