VIKAS Vs. UNIVERSITY OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS petition challenges the order dated 4 -5 -2013 addressed by the Rajasthan University to the Principal Rajasthan Law College Chirawa, a college affiliated to Rajasthan University, stating that while scrutinising the examination forms of students of the aforesaid college, it transpired that the petitioner had passed his graduation from the institute of Advanced Studies in Education (a Deemed University) Sardarshar (Distance Mode) which was not a recognised course as per the Rajasthan University Equivalence list. And therefore was not entitled to be admitted to the Rajasthan University's three year LLB course and write any examination thereof.

(2.) THE case of the petitioner is that the Institute of Advanced Studies in Education, Sardarshar (Distance Mode) is a deemed university and recognised by the University Grants Commission. He submitted that there was thus no question of recognition of the said course by the Rajasthan University and as such the mere fact that the petitioner had admittedly graduated from the Institute of Advanced Studies in Education, Sardarshar he was entitled to be admitted to the three year LLB course of Rajasthan University. It is further submitted that other students who had graduated from the same Institute of Advanced Studies in Education, Sardarshar had been allowed to take admission into the University's three year LLB course and as such the petitioner was being discriminated against invidiously. Counsel submitted that the letter dated 4 -5 -2013 was thus liable to be set aside.

(3.) HEARD learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record of the writ petition.
