3. The case of the petitioner in brief as per the averments made in the affidavit filed by the petitioner in support of the present writ petition is as under:

                  i) The petitioner, a Ph.D. scholar in the Faculty of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at JNTUH, was admitted in 2014 with an INSPIRE Fellowship and was allotted Research Scholar Quarter No. RSQ1/12 in February 2015. The petitioner had been residing there with her family and paying rent and electricity charges regularly. Due to chronic gynaecological health issues, the petitioner could not complete her research within the initial six-year period but successfully completed her Ph.D. within the permissible extended period of ten years.

                  ii) After completion of petitioner’s fellowship, petitioner sought calculation of rental dues and was issued with No Dues Certificate on 22.05.2025. The petitioner was also informed that her provisional certificate was forwarded to Respondent No.2. However, Respondent No.1 later issued a notice dated 31.07.2025 directing the petitioner to vacate the quarter.

                  iii) For registering for the XIV Convocation, the petitioner requested issuance of a No Objection Certificate. Instead of issuing the NOC, the subordinates of Respondent No.3 disconnected electricity to her quarter without notice. Despite several representations, the respondents neither restored power nor issued the NOC and continued pressurising the petitioner to vacate the quarter. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed the present writ petition.

4. PERUSED THE RECORD

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION:

5. It is the specific case of the petitioner that inspite of the petitioner’s detailed representations dated 24.11.2025, 22.11.2025, 21.11.2025, and 19.11.2025, addressed to respondent No.1, requesting the respondent University to issue an updated No Objection Certificate from the Engineering and Quarters Department, which is a mandatory prerequisite for collecting the petitioner’s provisional certificate, the respondents have not considered the said representations even as on date.

6. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner mainly contends that the petitioner had recently completed her Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. M. Viswanadham, Faculty of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, JNTUH. Due to the petitioner’s health issues, she was unable to collect her provisional certificate or attend the convocation formalities. The petitioner had paid rent up to May 2025, as well as the rent for the period from June 2025 to October 2025, however, despite several representations requesting issuance of a No Objection Certificate confirming that all rental dues had been cleared by the petitioner and to enable the petitioner to collect the provisional certificate from the R&D Department and complete the convocation registration, the respondents have not considered the said request of the petitioner and hence, appropriate orders need to be passed in the present writ petition.

7. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent University fairly submits that the petitioner’s request for issuance of a No Objection Certificate from the R&D Department would be considered by the respondent University in accordance to law, within a reasonable period.

8. TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION:

                  e) The discussion and conclusion as arrived at from paragraphs Nos.5 to 7 of the present order, The writ petition is disposed of, directing Respondent No.1 – Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, to consider the grievance of the petitioner as put forth vide petitioner’s detailed representations dated 24.11.2025, 22.11.2025, 21.11.2025, and 19.11.2025, which had been acknowledged by the office of respondent No.1, pertaining to issuance of a No Objection Certificate from the R&D Department, which is a mandatory prerequisite for the petitioner to collect her provisional certificate, in accordance to law and pass appropriate orders on or before 28.11.2025 and duly communicate the decision on the said representations to the petitioner herein.
