(1.) This bunch of writ petitions has been filed practically for the purpose that Degree of Vyayam Ratna possessed by the Petitioners as granted by Maharani Laxmi Bai Vyayam Mandir, Vyayam College, Jhansi be treated as a valid degree for admission to Special BTC Course, 2004. All the writ petitions are being decided by means of this common judgment. Writ Petition No. 21846 of 2005 has been treated as the leading case and the facts recorded hereunder are with reference thereto.
(2.) Facts in short giving rise to the present petition as follows:
(3.) Petitioner before this Court is stated to have made an application in response to the advertisement published in 2004 for admission to Special BTC Course, 2004. Alongwith this application the Petitioner enclosed a copy of the Vyayam Ratna certificate issued by the Maharani Laxmi Bai Vyayam Mandir, Vyayam College, Jhansi (copy whereof has been brought on record as Annexure-5 to the writ petition). This degree according to the Petitioner is equivalent to the degree of . D.P.Ed, which is a prescribed qualification for being considered for admission to Special BTC Course, 2004. Having regard to the quality point marks obtained by him, a letter was issued by the Principal, DIET, Ismailpur, Bijnor informing the Petitioner that he has been admitted to Special BTC Course, 2004 and the Petitioner may report in the institute for joining. It is stated that the Petitioner joined the course and also participated in the training programme. All of a sudden an order dated 6.3.2005 was issued whereunder the admission of the Petitioner to Special BTC Course, 2004 was cancelled after recording that the certificate of Vyayam Ratna granted by Maharani Laxmi Bai Vyayam Mandir, Vyayam College, Jhansi is not a recognized qualification for the purposes of admission to Special BTC Course, 2004. The order records that recognition by NCTE was granted to the institution by the name of Sri Laxmi Vyayam Mandir, Vyayam College, Jhansi, the certificates whereof alone can be treated as valid qualifications for admission to Special BTC Course, 2004.
