CJ: The present Writ Appeal, under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent, has been preferred against order, dated 05.02.2025, passed in W.P.No.1509 of 2025, wherein I.A.No.1 of 2025 filed by the petitioners/appellan ts herein was dismissed and an interim relief was refused on the ground that the relief sought as an interim measure was identical to the main prayer in the writ petition. 2 HCJ & RRRJ W.A.No.138 of 2025 2. The petitioners claimed that they were pursuing the 1 class and Intermediate courses through Open School mode, which inter alia prescribes curriculum of 30 contact classes in one academic year, study material in the shape of books/printed material is supplied to the candidates pursuing distance education mode to enable them to prepare themselves for final examination. 3. The grievance of the petitioners was that without conducting the regular number of contact classes and without furnishing the study material to them, the official respondents were proposing to conduct the final examination, which would not enable them to clear the exam, in which process, they would lose one precious academic year which would affect their career growth. 4. In this regard, documents have been placed on record, which show that initially the contact classes for junior colleges and high schools to start from 03.11.2024 and 09.11.2024 respectively, which were was revised subsequently by virtue of proceedings, dated 23.12.2024, issued by respondent No.3 - the Director, the Andhra Pradesh Open School Society. 5. According to the revised schedule, the contact classes were to start with effect from various dates until 23.02.2025, which was over a period of 30 days. The requirement of the desired number of contact classes would therefore satisfy the Preparatory Exams and the same were scheduled during the duration of the contact program. f 'W 3 HCJ & RRRJ W.A.No.138 of 2025 r The argument that the final exams cannot be conducted, inasmuch as study material was not provided or, for that matter, the contact programs are not fully conducted, is sought to be contested by learned counsel for the official respondents, who has placed on record, communication, dated 04.02.2025, reflecting the factum of commencement of 6. dispatch of the study material from 27.12.2024, which was stated to be completed by 28.01.2025. Apart from this, we have seen from the documents placed on record by the appellants itself that, which is in the shape of Minutes, dated 30.12.2024, wherein the candidates were informed that the distribution of 7. textbooks had been initiated and would be completed within a week therefrom and, in the meantime, the candidates were advised to utilize the soft copies of all subjects available in the official website. Learned counsel for the official respondents also highlighted the 8. fact that approximately 88,729 students have to appear in the Open School examination, which is scheduled to be held in the immediate future, any interim order passed at this stage would delay the schedule of examination and create confusion amongst the student community. Having considered the matter in its entirety, we do not find this a fit case, where an interim relief could be granted. The Writ Appeal is found to 9. be without any merit and is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. m 4 HCJ & RRRJ W.A,No.138 of 2025 Consequently, connected miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. Sd/- M.RAMESH BABU DEPUTY REGISTRAR //TRUE COPY// SECTrON OFFICER To, 1.
