After hearing the counsel, direction was issued to the State counsel to confirm from Kurukshetra University if the degree possessed by the petitioners could be termed as legally valid or not. Mr. Rathee, today has placed on record the communication received from Kurukshetra University that the degree possessed by the petitioners having been obtained from Maulana Azad National Urdu University, Hyderabad is not recognised for the purpose of higher studies. Accordingly, the same cannot be considered as valid B.Ed. Degree for grant of promotion. The communication is kept on record. Copy of the same is supplied to the counsel for the petitioner. He may take any appropriate action in this regard by filing a fresh petition, in case, he feels aggrieved against the decision so taken by the Kurukshetra University. The present writ petition is, accordingly dismissed. August 23 , 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
