Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.B.DEVADAS Counsel for the Respondents 1 and 2: MR.DEEPAK BHATTACHARJEE The Court at the admission stage made the following : THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.7453 OF 2005 ORDER : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the alleged action of the respondents in not allowing the petitioner to appear for the examination scheduled to be held on 8-4-2005 as arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner joined in the third respondent College of Education and prosecuted the B.Ed. course in the academic year 1998-99. However, he could not complete one subject due to ill-health. It is stated that he intended to appear for the supplementary examinations scheduled to be held on 8-4-2005 and accordingly made an application on 5-1-2005 requesting the respondents to permit him to appear for the said examination. It is alleged that the respondents failed to consider his request. Hence, this writ petition. I have heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents 1 and 2 and perused the material on record. Admittedly, the petitioner joined the B.Ed. course in October, 1998 and he has completed the Course in October, 1999. The learned Standing Counsel states that as per the University Regulations, the petitioner is required to complete the course within a period of two years from the date of admission into the Course and therefore the petitioner cannot be permitted to appear for the examinations after a lapse of five years. Since admittedly the petitioner joined the course in the academic year 1998-99 and the College Leaving Certificate produced by the petitioner shows that he has left the college on completion of the course on 8-10-1999, I do not find any justifiable reason to grant the relief as prayed for since the same would be contrary to the University Regulations. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. ______________ 06th April, 2005. sh To 1 The Controller of Examinations, Osmania University, O.U.
