W.P.No.22577/2018 HON'BLE SRI JUSTI CE V. RAMASUBRAMANI AN HON'BLE SMT. JUSTI CE KONGARA VI JAYALAKSHMI WRI T PETI TI ON No.22577 of 2018 ORDER: (Per VRS,J.) The petitioner, who has applied for admission into professional medical course for the academic year 2018-19, has come up with the above writ petition seeking a Mandamus to direct the respondents to consider her as a local candidate, to enable her to get the benefit of reservation for local candidates in terms of Presidential Order, 1974.

2. Heard Mr. N. Ranga Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Taddi Nageswara Rao, learned counsel takes notice for the respondent-University.

3. To enable a person to get the benefit of reservation for the local candidates in terms of the Presidential Order, 1974, the candidate should have studied for a continuous period of four years, culminating in the higher secondary course or in the alternative should have resided for a period of seven years. The petitioner admittedly studied Classes 9 & 10 in the State of Tamilnadu. Therefore, the respondents have refused to consider the petitioner as a local candidate. Hence the writ petition.

4. A similar issue came up last year before this Court and by an order dated 31.07.2017 passed in W.P.No.24529 of 2017, this Court rejected such a request. Therefore, following the same, this writ petition is also dismissed. As a sequel, pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
