CORAM : B.R.GAVAI & A.A.SAYED,JJ. DATE : 20/10/2010. 1] By way of present petition, the petitioner challenges the corrigendum dated 7/5/2010, vide which the criterion for eligibility for admission to B.Ed. has been fixed at 50% marks for open category and 45% marks for reserved category. Shri Ghute, learned counsel for petitioner submits that due to change in criteria, about 40% seats remained vacant, therefore, there is no justification with the decision of State Government to change the criteria. 2] The criterion has been changed prior to the date on which the petitioner has appeared for examination, as such no prejudice can be said to be caused to the petitioner. 3] Secondly the respondent no.3 which is a national council in so far as the teaching is concerned, has prescribed the minimum criterion of 50% marks for general category candidates. In view of the judgment of the Apex Court in the case of State of Tamilnadu V/s Adhiyaman Education & Research Institute reported in 1995 (4) S.C.C. 104, if any minimum criterion is fixed by the national council the same is binding upon the State Government. 4] In that view of the matter, no case is made out for interference. Writ Petition is rejected. (A.A.SAYED) (B.R.GAVAI) JUDGE JUDGE umg/wp9981-10
