V/S
HIMACHAL PRADESH UNIVERSITY AND Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) SINCE common questions of law and facts are involved in these petitions, these were heard together and are being disposed of by this common judgment.

(2.) MR . B.N. Misra, learned counsel for the petitioners has vehemently argued that the exemption granted to respondents No. 2 to 5 from qualifying the short -hand and typing test in these petitions on 17.07.1998 (Annexure A -7) is contrary to the Recruitment and Promotion Rules notified on 6th February, 1973. He then contended that qualifying the shorthand and typing test was sine -qua -non for regular promotion to the post of Junior Scale Stenographer. He finally contended that that it was not within the authority of Registrar to exempt respondents No. 2 to 5 from qualifying the short -hand and typing test.

(3.) MR . Jagdish Thakur, learned counsel for respondent No. 3 has admitted the arguments of Mr. Vinod Thakur, learned counsel.
