ORDER:
Mr. D.S.Kishen, learned counsel appears for the petitioner.
Mr. R.Nagarjuna Reddy, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Health, Medical and Family Welfare Department appears for respondent No.1.
Mr. T. Sharath, learned Standing Counsel for Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences, appears for respondent No.2.
2. This Writ Petition is filed for the following relief: “...issue directions, orders, more particularly a Writ in the nature of Mandamus, declaring the inaction of the respondents, more particularly the 2nd respondent, in not considering the petitioner’s representation dated 20.09.2026 for consideration of her candidature for admission under Management Quota Category-C i.e., NRI Category for MBBS
Course for the Academic Year 2026-27, as arbitrary, illegal and unconstitutional, and consequently direct the 2nd respondent to consider the petitioner’s representation and permit the petitioner to be considered under Management Quota Category-C i.e., NRI Category in the present/next phase of counselling, subject to verification of eligibility and documents and pass such other order or orders as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the interests of justice and equity.”
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner failed to register herself under Management Quota ‘C’ NRI category for admission into MBBS/BDS course for the academic year 2026-27 out of ignorance, as a result of which her online application reflected “Claiming NRI: No”. However, on coming to know about the same, she obtained required documents and preferred a representation before respondent No.2-University on 20.09.2026 to permit her to register under Management Quota ‘C’ NRI category, but the same has not yet been considered. He further submitted that respondent No.2- University be directed to decide the said representation in a time bound manner.
4. Learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.2-University submitted that the petitioner’s representation shall be dealt with by respondent No.2-University in accordance with law.
5. Accordingly, the instant Writ Petition is disposed of directing respondent No.2-University to decide the petitioner’s representation dated 20.09.2026 as per the grounds taken in it and in accordance with law, by passing a reasoned order before the next counselling. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case. There shall be no order as to costs.
Miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed.
