(Oral) The petitioner was admitted in MBA Degree Course in respondent No.4-Institute in the academic session 2007-08. The aforesaid admission was granted to her on the basis of B.Tech qualification which she is said to have passed in the year 2007-08 with 75% marks. The Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, however, cancelled the petitioner's admission on the plea that she had not obtained the B.Tech degree up to the date of counselling for admission in MBA Course. It may be mentioned that the counselling for MBA Degree course was CWP No.853 of 2011 [2] held upto 31.10.2008 whereas, the B.Tech degree was issued to the petitioner on 6.12.2008. The detailed marks certificate of B.Tech dated 6.12.2008 (Annexure P-2) acknowledges the fact that the petitioner had appeared in the said examination in October 2008. It was obvious that the examination for the B.Tech Course were over before the start of the MBA counselling on 31.10.2008. Once the petitioner was declared to have been passed in B.Tech Course vide certificate dated 6.12.2008, such declaration will relate back the date when she appeared in examination in October, 2008. In any case, the fact of the matter is that the petitioner was admitted in the MBA Course and was permitted to complete the said course under the orders passed by a quasi-judicial Form. It is not expedient at this stage to apply the strict rules of admission, though such rules are ordinarily to be followed by the University-authorities. For the reasons afore-stated, the writ petition is allowed and while regularizing the petitioner's admission in MBA Course, it is directed that MBA decree be issued to her on completion of the Course.
