THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 1324 of 2006 DATED: 28.01.2006 Between: M.Vijay. … PETITIONER AND The State Board of Technical Education and Training. … RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner joined Polytechnic Course in the year 1994, in the 2nd respondent-College. He could not complete the same, even by now. He has one paper to clear i.e. Electrical Engineering Drawing-I of II-Year. The petitioner states that if he is given an opportunity, he is confident of clearing the same. He seeks appropriate directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing counsel for the respondents. It is more than 11 years that the petitioner has been pursuing the three-year Polytechnic Course. It is a known practice that the maximum period allowed for completion of any Course is double the ordinary duration of the Course. In the instant case, the petitioner was allowed triple the duration of the Course, but still, he is not able to complete the same. The reason underlying the requirement to complete the Course in a particular time, is that the content of the course, and in some cases, even the pattern changes, with the innovations in the field. It is stated that the Course, to which the petitioner was admitted viz., C-90, has been discontinued long back. Several candidates, who did not complete the Course, were given an opportunity to complete the same. The respondents cannot be required to keep the Course alive indefinitely. Therefore, this Court does not find any basis to grant any relief to the petitioner. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to cots. _________ 28.01.2006 Jsu
