IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA C.W.P. 1922/2008 Decided on 15.3.2010 Adarsh Vocational Training Centre ….Petitioner Versus State of H.P. and others …Respondents Coram The Hon’ble Mr.Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice R.B. Misra, Judge. For the Petitioner: Ms. Suman Thakur Advocate. For Respondent No.1 to 3 Mr.R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General, with Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. Advocate General. For Respondent No 2 Mr. Lovneesh Kanwar, Advocate. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) Petitioner approached this court praying for the direction to the third respondent to grant approval in favour of two students, Ms. Vandana Kumari (Arts & Craft) and Krishan Lal (PTI course) for the academic session 2008. We find that pursuant to the interim order dated 15.10.2008, those two candidates were permitted to appear in the examination. Results have been made available in a sealed cover. We find that Krishan Lal has to re-appear and Ms.Vandana has passed. The main dispute is with regard to the approval of the list in respect of the admission in the year 2008. Now those two academic sessions have already crossed, we do not think that this court , in the interest of justice, equity and fairness, should go into those questions. Therefore, leaving all those contentions open, with a direction to the petitioner that in academic matters they should strictly follow the procedure and schedule without giving room for any sort of error and allegation. This writ petition is disposed of leaving the contentions open, making it clear that the candidate Ms. Vandana shall be treated to have taken her examination and duly passed and as far as Krishan Lal is concerned he will go by his results and he is permitted to re-appear in the examination in both papers.
