IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 12545 of 2010 Date of decision: 27.09.2010 Parshotam Kumar ...Petitioner Versus Maharishi Dayanand University Rohtak ...Respondents Present: Mr. Kuldeep Jangama, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Balram Gupta, Senior Advocate with Mr. G.P.S. Bal, Advocate for the respondents. RANJIT SINGH J. The petitioner has filed this writ petition for grant of admission to Five years LLB course with the respondent/University in the category of BCA candidates. The petitioner was permitted to appear in the entrance examination but has been denied admission on the ground that he was over 20 years of age. Notice of motion was issued and reply on behalf of the University has been filed. Reference is made to Corrigendum, which was displayed on the University website for information of the candidates. In the Corrigendum, which is an integral part of the prospectus, in Clauses 1 and 2 of Chapter 1 of the prospectus the basic conditions of eligibility for admission to BA LLB courses were stipulated. It is provided that the applicant would be eligible to appear in LLB 5-years course through Entrance Examination, if he has passed 10+2 Examination or equivalent Examination recognised by this University securing at least 50% (40% in case of SC/ST) marks Civil Writ Petition No. 12545 of 2010 -2- in aggregate and is not more than 20 years of age (22 years in case of SC/ST candidate) on 01.07.2010). It is this condition with which the petitioner is confronted with. The petitioner being over 20 years as on 01.07.2010 has been considered ineligible. There is no challenge before me to this eligibility. Submission that there was no fault on the part of the petitioner may be true but if the petitioner does not fulfill the eligibility condition, which was provided by issuing corrigendum, the same cannot be ignored for grant of consideration of the petitioner's right for admission. In view of the position as noticed above, there is no cause for interference in the writ petition and the same is, accordingly, dismissed. September 27, 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
