CW 8297/10 //1// In the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan Jaipur Bench ** Civil Writ Petition No. 8297/2010 Purshottam Meena Versus State University of Rajasthan & Anr. Date of Order ::: 06/07/2010 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Rastogi Mr. Vinay Pandey, for petitioner Instant petition has been filed assailing notification dt.06/05/2010 (Ann.2), enjoining upon applicants to have particular subjects as optional at 10+2 level with securing 50% or more (45% marks for SC/ST/OBC candidates) in aggregate for seeking admission to BCA (Part-I) course in academic session 2010-11. Counsel submits that petitioner being Meena by caste is a member of Scheduled Tribe and has qualified Senior Secondary securing 39.38% marks with 3rd Division by Grace in the year 2006; and upto academic session 2009-10, no minimum qualifying marks were fixed by the University for SC/ST candidates for admission to BCA course; in such circumstances, notification introduced for academic session 2010-11 and the requirement of particular optional subjects having taken note of for admission to BCA course for academic session 2010-11 are arbitrary and violative of Art.14 of the Constitution, which deprives the petitioner from admission. CW 8297/10 //2// Since the petitioner has indisputably failed to secured minimum qualifying marks in aggregate in 10+2 level prescribed as condition of eligibility for admission to BCA course, question raised herein in regard to admission to BCA course in academic session 2010-11 restricting alone to particular optional subjects held by students, is not required to be examined in instant case. However, as regards minimum qualifying marks at 10+2 level being prescribed for admission to BCA course, the University is competent to envisage a minimum qualifying marks in 10+2 examination as a condition of eligibility for admission to a particular course being conducted by it. This Court does not find any error being committed by the University in regard to minimum qualifying marks (supra) fixed for admission to BCA course. Consequently, writ petition fails and is hereby dismissed. (Ajay Rastogi), J. K.Khatri/p2/ 8297CW2010July6DsBCA.doc
