Quick Summary: A Hyderabad resident, Basula Venkata Abhinava Srikanth, challenged his exclusion from law school admissions. The court told him to submit missing documents within a week to get another shot.

Srikanth's Journey and the Admission Hiccup

Basula Venkata Abhinava Srikanth, a former Forest Officer, is trying to get into a three-year LLB course. He ranked 9th in the TG LAWCET 2025 exam but faced a roadblock. The problem? His application was rejected because he didn't submit all the needed documents.

Srikanth claims he often travels to Hyderabad for coaching and believes he qualifies for the 15% open category. But, without the right paperwork, his application hit a dead end.

What the Court Says

Judge K. Lakshman was in charge of the case. The court found that Srikanth hadn't provided proof of living or working in the area, which are important for the open category according to G.O.Ms.No.15.

"If the applicant submits the copies of all the needed documents, the person in charge of admissions will look at them."

The court directed Srikanth to submit the missing documents to the person in charge of TS LAWCET admissions within a week.

Understanding the Eligibility Rules

The TG LAWCET 2025 notification and G.O.Ms.No.15 explain who qualifies for the 15% open seats. Candidates must show they've lived in the state for ten years or prove their parents’ residency or employment in Telangana.

Srikanth needs to provide: - Proof of his or his parents’ living in Telangana. - Job certificates if applicable.

What's Next for Srikanth?

If Srikanth submits the documents on time and they check out, the person in charge must admit him. If not, they need to explain why in a detailed order.

Judge K. Lakshman emphasized the importance of following rules to ensure fairness in the admission process.

In short, Srikanth has a chance to fix his application. He just needs to gather the right papers and submit them quickly.
