Civil Writ Petition No.12521 of 2010 : 1 : IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH DATE OF DECISION: July 19, 2010 Ramwati & others .....Petitioners VERSUS State of Haryana & others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? PRESENT: Mr.R.S.Sihota, Senior Advocate with Mr.B.R.Rana, Advocate, for the petitioners. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioners have approached this Court through the present writ petition seeking direction that they should be called for interview for appointment to the post of Multi Purpose Health Worker (Female) (for short “MPHW (F)” being eligible in this regard and for which they are not being called. The petitioners have filed this common petition as they have passed the diploma course from the same Institution, namely, Indrapratha Technological University, Raipur and for this reason they are not being called for interview as this diploma is not recognised. Civil Writ Petition No.12521 of 2010 : 2 : The petitioners were appointed on contract basis which they claim to be after following a proper procedure. Their grievance is that now 26 posts of MPHW (F) have been advertised, but the petitioners are not being called for interview on the ground that they are ineligible. Accordingly, they have filed this writ petition. Though the petitioners would complain that no reasons have been assigned for holding them ineligible but this reason will come out unwittingly from the averments made in the petition. Reference is made to the case decided by the Hon'ble Supreme Court titled Prof. Yashpal and Anr. Vs. State of Chhattisgarh and Ors., 2005(2) SLR 707, where establishment of University, like Indrapratha Technological University, Raipur has been set-aside. In this case, provisions of Sections 5 and 6 of the Act are held ultra- vires and the gazette notifications notifying the University were held liable to be quashed with further direction that all such Universities would cease to exist. That being the position, any degree or diploma issued by such Universities, which are being held to be illegal, obviously cannot be considered valid for the purpose of appointment. Though Mr.Sihota would make a reference to some observations recorded in para 45 of the judgment to say that the Hon'ble Supreme Court wanted to keep the interest of the students in mind but these observations, in my view, would not come to the rescue of the petitioners. It is only said that the benefit of affiliation of an Institution is to be extended only if such Institution fulfilled the requisite norms and standard laid down for the purpose. There is no material on record to show that the Government has granted any such recognition to Indrapratha Technological University. Civil Writ Petition No.12521 of 2010 : 3 : Accordingly, I do not find any justification to interfere in the impugned action of the respondents and, thus, would dismiss the writ petition in limine.
