Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Telangana High Court (Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Renuka Yara) disposed of W.P. No. 5641 of 2025 filed by a student seeking a mandamus against respondent No.2 (KNRUHS) for not considering her registration for admission into the PG-Medical course for academic year 2024-25 under Management Quota Category 2 (NRI) in the final stray vacancy/left over seats counselling and subsequent phases. The petitioner had registered for the Management Quota but could not register for the NRI Quota as she was not in possession of NRI documents at the relevant time. Without expressing any opinion on the merits, the Court permitted the petitioner to file a representation with relevant documents before respondent No.2, and directed respondent No.2 to consider and decide the representation in accordance with law by passing a reasoned order before the next counselling. No costs; pending interlocutory applications closed.
