LPA No. 50 of 2007 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh. LPA No. 50 of 2007(O&M) Date of Decision: 19.01.2010 Gurmit Singh and another ....Appellants. Versus State of Punjab and others ....Respondents. Coram:- Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel Hon'ble Mr. Justice Alok Singh Present: Mr. Kapil Kakkar, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Jaswinder Singh, AAG, Punjab for the State. ... Alok Singh, J. 1. Present Letters Patent Appeal has been preferred assailing the judgement dated 8.2.2006 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court, thereby dismissing Civil Writ Petition No.13834 of 2001 (Gurmit Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab and others). 2. Brief facts of the case are that the appellants had approached this Court by way of writ petition, seeking mandamus commanding the respondents to consider their candidature for appointment to the posts of Physical Training Instructor claiming themselves fully eligible and qualified for appointment to the aforesaid posts. The appellants’ case is that they have acquired the qualification of Certificate Course of Physical Education LPA No. 50 of 2007 2 from Bihar School Education Examination Board, Patna, which is a recognized Institute in the State of Punjab. 3. The learned Single Judge has observed that the Bihar School Education Examination Board, Patna, is not recognized within the State of Punjab and hence the petitioners are not qualified to be appointed on the post of Physical Training Instructor and dismissed the writ petition. 4. We have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 5. The sole question involved in this case is as to whether any certificate/diploma issued by the Bihar School Education Examination Board, Patna, makes the appellants qualified to be appointed on the posts of Physical Training Instructor within the State of Punjab ? 6. Our attention was drawn to the communication/letter dated 15.10.1990 issued by the State of Punjab derecognizing diploma courses from other States. The courses which have been derecognized by the State of Punjab are as under: - “1. JBT Course/ETT of Haryana State 29.5.2004 2. Rajasthan 15.10.1990 3. Himachal 1992 C.P.Ed. 1. Amarwati 27.10.1977 2. Madhya Pradesh 27.10.1977 3. Bihar 27.10.1977 4. Tamil Nadu 27.10.1977 5. Karnataka 27.10.1977 6. Uttar Pradesh 27.10.1977 Except the course done in 1977-78”. 7. In view of the communication/letter dated 15.10.1990 LPA No. 50 of 2007 3 de-recognising certificates in the physical education issued by any Institute within the State of Bihar for the purpose of getting recruitment within the State of Punjab, we find that the appellants are not qualified to be appointed on the posts of Physical Training Instructor within the State of Punjab. 8. In view of the above, this appeal lacks merit. No interference is called for, hence this is dismissed. ( Adarsh Kumar Goel ) Judge ( Alok Singh ) Judge 19.01.2010 sk.
