COMMON ORDER: .Respondents Learned counsel Sri Alluri Divakar Reddy appears for the petitioners. Sri Tandra Ramesh, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Health, Medical and Family Welfare Department, appears fol respondent No.l. Sri T.Sharath, learned Standing Counsel Lor Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (hereinafter referred to as, t'the University"), appears for respondent No.2.

2. The petitioners, who despite having studied MBBS in the medical instifutions in the State of Telangana as non-local candidates were treated as ineligible and non-locals br, intirnation dated 12.11.2025 for admission into Medical PG Degree/Diploma courses for the academic year 2025-2026, have approached this Court in the present writ petitions filed on 1,8.12.2025 and 20.12.2025 rcspcctively. The petitioners seek to avail of the interim order passed in thc cases of other persons on

08.10.2025 as clarified by order dared 18. I 1.2025 1

3. An objection has been taken by the learned standing counsel for the university that the petitioners have come very late for an interim relief when the first phase of counselring leading to the first batch of admissions is over. The petitioners were aware of their non-local category as per the conditions of the admission prospectus issued on

30.0g.2025. If such interim relief is granted, the entire operation of the seat matrix gets effected at an advance stage of admission process. Therefore, such interim reliel'may be rejected.

4. Learned Standing counsel for the University has referred to an order passed by a learned Coordinate Bench of this court in Durgam Anish v. The state of retangana (w.p.No.25904 of 2023, dated

15.09.2023), whercin in sinrilar circumstances, the learned Coordinate Bench refused to grant the rclief for being treated as a non-local candidate as the petitioner *,as guilty of inaction and had slept over his rights. The Court had also <lbservcd that the facts relate to admission to an educational instirution. r.r'hich is a time-bound process under the directions of the I{on'ble Suprerne court. [t was also observed that the , , I \ unexplained delay ol'45 da,r,s rvas fatal to the case of the petitioner. It was further observed that in casc the rvrit petition was entertained, the r:' 4 process of admission to MBBSiBDS course would never be concluded. Therefore, the relief was declined.

5. Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties and after taking note of the relevant materials as above, we are inclined to follow the same view as has been held by the learned Coordinate Bench of this Court in the case of Durgam Anish (supra). The petitioners are aware of their status after issuance of the prospectus on 30.09.2025. Those who were vigilant came to the Court in the first week of October, 2025, and the interim relief was granted in their favour on 08.10.2025 with a direction to the University to entertain their applications. It was on account of subsequent confusion in the minds o[ the Univcrsity, that the said interim order was clarified on l8.l 1.2025.

6. The present petitioners, if were affectcd. could have come much ahead in time. The writ petitions have bcen prefbrred only on

18.12.2025 and 20.12.2025 respectivell, after taking a cue from the orders passed in the case of others, rvhen the adrnission process and timeliness is sacrosanct as has also been observ'ed in Durgam Anish (supra) by the learned Coordinate Bench of this Court. 'fherefore, are not inclined to entertain the prayer in the u,rit pctitions. i I I I ! I i j I I I I I I I I I I I t I t" \i 1 : ,* r' 5

7. The writ petitions are accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. SD/.T. //TRUE COPY/ OFFICER To,
