IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP NO.17538 of 2006 DATE OF DECISION: November 7, 2006 Manju Bala ….Petitioner VERSUS Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra and others …..Respondents CORAM:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE VINEY MITTAL HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE H.S. BHALLA PRESENT: Shri S.P.Laler, Advocate for the petitioner. Viney Mittal,J.(Oral). The petitioner claims seat in NRI category in B.Ed course being run by Shri Krishna College of Education, Ramba, District Karnal. It is alleged by her that an application form complete in all respects was submitted by her on October 16,2006 but was not accepted and consequently she sent the aforesaid application through speed post on October 16, 2006 itself. The last date for receipt of the applications was October 17, 2006. In these circumstances, the petitioner has approached this Court challenging the action of the aforesaid College in converting all the vacant 15 NRI seats into general category seats. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and have also gone through the record of the case. CWP NO.17538 of 2006 -2- From the perusal of record, we find that the petitioner claims the aforesaid NRI seat on the basis of a sponsorship certificate Annexure P.7 dated October 3,2006. Apparently, the said certificate was issued by Satinder Singh Dang, brother-in-law of the petitioner settled in USA. Obviously, the said certificate issued on October 13, 2006, could not have been received in original by the petitioner on October 16, 2006, when the petitioner claims to have filed her application for admission. Faced with the aforesaid difficulty, the learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner had received a fax copy of the aforesaid certificate and as such had appended the aforesaid fax copy alongwith the application submitted by her. However, it is very fairly conceded by the learned counsel for the petitioner that alongwith the application form, the petitioner was required to append all the original certificates and documents. Since the petitioner had failed to append the original copy of the sponsorship certificate (Annexure P.7), therefore, her claim for admission to NRI seat could not have been entertained. Dismissed.
