The petitioner relies upon the proceedings of the Vice Chancellor of the first respondent-University dated 22.03.2005 and contends that since the earlier decision taken by the university under the proceedings dated 06.07.2004 debarring the petitioner college as a center for conducting degree examinations for a period of three years has been modified and the period of debar has been reduced to one year, the petitioner is entitled to conduct the examinations for the academic year 2005. However, learned Standing Counsel Sri.P.B.Vijaya Kumar, under instructions, states that by virtue of the proceedings dated 22.03.2005 reducing the period of debar from three years to one year, the petitioner is entitled to conduct the examinations for the next academic year, but not the examinations being conducted in the year 2005. Learned Standing Counsel also states that for this academic year the students of the petitioner college have to write the examinations at Pragna Degree College, Palasa and to that effect orders have already been passed by the university. In the circumstances, nothing remains for consideration in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. _________ 30.03.2005 sh To 1 The Registrar, Andhra University. 2 The Controller of Examinations, A.U., Visakhapatnam. 3 2 CD copies 4 1 CC to MR.VEERA REDDY
