Submissions have been made that the petitioner is possessing the qualification of Diploma in Computer Science & Engineering from CMC Limited is a Government of India Enterprise, thus, it is very well established that same is recognized by Government of India and fulfills the requirement of it being recognized Polytechnic Institution. It was submitted that the denial of appointment to the petitioner vide rejection order dated 14.06.2013 (Annex.-6) solely on the ground that Computer Certificate submitted by the petitioner is not considered valid for appointment against the advertised post is illegal and arbitrary.
In the reply filed by the respondents, a specific stand has been taken by the respondents that CMC Limited is a Software Company and the same is not a Polytechnic Institution recognized by the Government. Therefore, the petitioner is not possessing the requisite qualification as required under Condition No.5 of the Advertisement. Respondents in their reply have stated that the candidature of the petitioner has rightly been rejected and the writ petition deserves to be dismissed solely on the ground that the petitioner is lacking requisite qualification required for appointment on the advertised post.
Having considered the rival submissions, this Court finds that as per the Advertisement issued by the respondents in order to seek appointment on the advertised post, a candidate is required to possess Diploma in Computer Science & Engineering from a Polytechnic Institution recognized by the Government.

This Court therefore, does not find any error in the decision of the respondents in refusing appointment to the petitioner on the post of LDC advertised in the year 2013 vide Advertisement dated 14.02.2013.
In view of the above, the present writ petitions filed by the petitioner are dismissed.
