HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 13191 of 2007 Dated 22nd June, 2007 Between Kukunuru Somi Reddy …Petitioner and Chaitnya Bharathi Institute of Technology, Gandipet, Hyderabad, rep. By its Principal, and anr …Respondents. THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 13191 of 2007 ORDER: In this Writ Petition, the petitioner has questioned the proceedings dated 15-5-2007, by which, the petitioner was detained in B.Tech second semester on the ground of shortage of attendance. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Standing Counsel for the second respondent-University that the petitioner has only 58% of attendance in theory and 50% of attendance in practicals. Though it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is a visually handicapped person and as he lost his father, he could not attend the college. But, however, the academic regulations require minimum 75% of attendance and there is a provision to condone shortage of attendance to the extent of 10% on medical grounds. In view of the fact that the petitioner did not put in required attendance, I do not find any illegality in the impugned order passed by the first respondent. The Writ Petition is devoid of merits and is dismissed at the admission stage. No order as to costs. ---------------------------------- JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY DATE: 22-6-2007. Msnr.
