HC declines to pass order promoting UG, PG students

HC declines to pass order promoting UG, PG students

10/07/2020

Telangana High Court on Thursday declined to pass an order to the State to promote degree and post-graduate students to final year based on marks in internal assessment exams.

A bench of Chief Justice Raghvendra Singh Chauhan and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy, hearing two PIL pleas, directed the State government to file a counter affidavit in three weeks. During the previous hearing on June 30, the government informed the HC that all Common Entrance Tests were postponed. The bench, however, did not pass any specific direction on UG and PG exams on that day. The petitioner’s counsel C. Damoder Reddy appealed to the bench to promote students based on their internal assessment marks. The AG told the court that the government had decided to hold examinations as per UGC norms following standard practices. Differing with the petitioner’s counsel, the bench observed that courts cannot compel the State government to take a policy decision on examinations.
