Justice Jayant Nath asserted that the authorities may consider the writ petition as an articulation and treat it according to the law while unloading of the petition filed by Telangana Parents Foundation founder Juwadi Sagar Rao.
The petition also authorized the Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Higher Education, and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to take measures to conduct final year exams and entrance exams without disturbing the students.
The plea, filed by the advocates Shravan Kumar and R Balaji, stated that government, private hostels, and paying guest accommodation are neared except for some government university-run hostels due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The petition states that this is causing a lot of complication to the final year students of several universities, who belong to rural areas and who live in private hostels or PG accommodation.
