Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI Present: Mr.Vikas Malik, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Narender Hooda, Advocate,for the respondents. PERMOD KOHLI, J. (Oral) This order will dispose of the aforesaid writ petitions as common question of law and facts are involved in these petitions. Keeping in view the controversy involved and with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties, these writ petitions are disposed of at the motion stage. I have heard learned counsel for the parties at length. The petitioners in these writ petitions are claiming promotion to the next higher post on the basis of their qualifications which they have CWP No.4233 of 2010 -2- acquired through Distance Mode from Deemed Universities. They were denied the consideration only on the ground that their qualifications are not recognised. The issue involved in these petitions is squarely covered by a judgment of this Court passed in CWP No.1405 of 2009 decided on 13.1.2010 wherein Degrees granted by the Deemed Universities are said to be recognised qualifications. In view of the above circumstances, these writ petitions are allowed. Let the claim of the petitioners for promotion be considered treating their qualifications to be recognised. The process of consideration be completed within a period of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order by the competent authority. A copy of this order be placed on the record of connected file. 17.11.2010 (PERMOD KOHLI) BLS JUDGE
