L.P.A. No. 1290 of 2011(O&M) -1- In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh L.P.A. No. 1290 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision: August 08, 2011 Kamal Sharma ---Appellant versus Haryana Staff Selection Commission through its Secretary ---Respondent Coram: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH *** Present: Mr. D.S.Rawat, Advocate, for the appellant Mr. Aman Chaudhary, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana for the respondent. *** 1. To be referred to the Reporter or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M.Kumar, J. 1. Learned Single Judge has non-suited the appellant-writ petitioner on the ground that in the absence of Diploma Certificate, the submission of Mark Sheet which was received by the appellant-writ petitioner before the last date of filing of application for the post of Veterinary Livestock Development Assistant was not sufficient and it failed to satisfy the requirement of the L.P.A. No. 1290 of 2011(O&M) -2- advertisement. According to the learned Single Judge, the candidature of the appellant was rightly rejected. The learned Single Judge has also expressed the view that where the Diploma is essential qualification, the Mark Sheet cannot be equated with the Diploma Certificate. 2. However, in response to the notice of motion, Mr. Aman Chaudhary, learned Additional Advocate General, Haryana, has placed on record a complete copy of the advertisement dated 28.2.2009. Under the heading “Animal Husbandry and Dairying” 150 post of Veterinary Livestock Development Assistants have been mentioned and applications have been invited by fixing the last date as 27.3.2009. The educational qualifications prescribed in the advertisement are as under:- i) Matric or is equivalent from any recognized University/Board/Institution ii)Two years Vety Livestock Development Assistant Diploma course from any recognized University iii)Hindi/Sanskrit up to Matric Standard” 3. There is a specific requirement that a candidate must possess two years' Veterinary Livestock Development Assistant Diploma from any recognized University. Admittedly, the Diploma qualified by the appellant- writ petitioner is not from a recognized University. It is from Sati Javed Public Health and Education Trust, Janak Singh Pura, Neemrana, Alwar(Rajasthan). Therefore, the Diploma, could not have been considered valid. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, we are of the considered opinion that the qualification possessed by the appellant-writ petitioner did not answer the description given in the advertisement as his two years Diploma in Veterinary Livestock Development is not from any recognized University. The Institute known as Sati Javed Public Health and L.P.A. No. 1290 of 2011(O&M) -3- Education Trust, Janak Singh Pura, Neemrana, Alwar(Rajasthan) cannot by any stretch of imagination be regarded as a University. There is, thus, no merit in the appeal. 5. Dismissed. (M.M.KUMAR) JUDGE (GURDEV SINGH) JUDGE August 08, 2011 PARAMJIT
