CWP(T) No. 13394 of 2008 6.01.2011 Present: Mr. Dilip Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Ram Murti Bisht, Deputy Advocate General for the respondents/State. My attention has been invited to the decision rendered by this Court in CWP No. 2216 of 2007, titled as Babu Ram and others versus State of H.P. and another along with another connected petition, decided on 25.9.2008, copy of which is taken on record. While deciding the matter this Court took into account the decision dated 21.6.2007 taken by the respondents which reads as under:- “I am directed to say that the matter regarding recognition of the diploma awarded by the ‘deemed’ universities through extension centres was under consideration of the Government for some time. The matter has been examined carefully and after due consideration, it has been decided to give the recognition to all such diploma awarded by ‘DEEMED UNIVERTITIES’ during the period 1.6.2001 to 31.8.2005 for the purpose of employment under the state Government.” 2. In the instant case undoubtedly petitioner has obtained diploma from Rajasthan Vidyapeeth, the university which is deemed to have been recognized by the respondents. The certificate of Diploma is Annexure A-1. The certificate is dated 17.9.2003. Petitioner’s case is thus squarely covered by the decision dated 21.6.2007 taken by the respondents themselves. -2- 3. In view of the decision now taken by the respondents the petition needs to be allowed. Show cause notice dated 5.7.2004 (Annexure A-5) and order dated 9.5.2005 (Annexure A- 9) are quashed. In view of the decision dated 21.6.2007 it can no longer be said that petitioner had obtained degree/diploma from an unrecognized educational institution. 4. For the aforesaid reasons the present petition is allowed. (Sanjay Karol), Judge. January 6, 2011 (PK)
