1. This order of mine shall dispose of eight writ petitions bearing CWP Nos.22948, 23047, 21908, 24062, 27292, 32398, 20841 of 2018 and 34119 of 2019, as the grievance raised by the petitioner(s) in all the writ petitions is that they have not been called for interview on the ground that they did not possess requisite six months certificate in computer from a recognized institution.

3. Petitioners herein being duly eligible in their respective categories of posts submitted their online applications. Being successful in the written examination conducted by the respondent-Commission, they were called for scrutiny of documents. They appeared before the competent authorities for scrutiny of documents and submitted requisite documents pertaining to their qualifications. However, they were surprised to find that their names were not reflected in the list of candidates called for the interview. They were orally informed by the respondent-Commission that they did not possess the requisite six months certificate in computer from a recognized institution and therefore, they did not qualify for interview.

4. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would contend that they have appended requisite certificates in computer to establish that they have done their six months course in computer from registered institutes. It was 5 of 16 ::: Downloaded on - 03-06-2023 09:42:47 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2023:PHHC:081289 CWP No. 22948 of 2018 (O&M) -6- 2023:PHHC:081289 further argued that non-consideration of said certificates and subsequent decision of the Haryana Staff Selection Commission in enlisting 16 institutions as recognized institutions for selection on posts in question changes rules of the game after selection process put into motion and therefore, petitioners herein are put at a disadvantage. It was also argued that petitioners, who have done Bachelor of Technology have also studied computer as a subject while pursuing their degree and therefore, the same ought to have been taken into consideration as a qualification equivalent to or higher than six months course in computer.

5. Additionally, learned counsel appearing for petitioner-Ankit Malik in CWP No.34119 of 2019 and the counsel appearing for petitioner-Parveen Saroha in CWP No.21908 of 2018 would argue that petitioners have done their B.Com (Vocational Course) degree wherein they studied subjects of Computer Fundamental & Logical Org-1, Computer Fundamental & Logical Org-2, Fundamental of Database System-II, Data Structures and SAD CA6 & Data Structures & SAD CA 6 in semesters 1 to 6 respectively, which is higher than a six months course in computer. Reliance has also been placed upon a certificate issued by the Principal, Arya PG College, Panipat (Annexure P-8) in favour of petitioner-Ankit Malik in CWP No.34119 of 2019 wherein it is stated that the petitioner has done Bachelor of Commerce (Vocational) 3 years degree and contents of subjects studied is higher in comparison to six months course in computer.

6. Learned counsel appearing for petitioners in CWP Nos.27292 of 2018 and 20841 of 2018 would argue that petitioners namely Ravinder Kumar and Pankaj Kumar respectively have done their computer courses from Tata Infotech, which had entered into an agreement with the Government of 6 of 16 ::: Downloaded on - 03-06-2023 09:42:47 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2023:PHHC:081289 CWP No. 22948 of 2018 (O&M) -7- 2023:PHHC:081289 Haryana for imparting computer education as an optional subject in the Government Educational Institutes and therefore, their certificates ought to have been considered as the one obtained from recognized institutions.

7. Per contra, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents would urge that terms and conditions of the advertisement clearly mentioned that only six months computer certificates issued by the recognized institutes would be taken into consideration and therefore, there is no infirmity in the selection process or not taking the computer certificates appended by the petitioners into consideration, as they have been issued by registered institutes and not by recognized institutes.

8. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and with their assistance have gone through the pleadings of the case.

9. The facts are not in dispute that the petitioners herein had applied for the posts of Mandi Supervisor-cum-Fee Collector and Auction Recorder under Category Nos.17 and 19 respectively in pursuance to Advertisement No.7/2015. For both the aforesaid posts, besides graduation with 55% marks from a recognized University, a six months certificate in computer from recognized institution is mandatory. In CWP No.20394 of 2018 titled as Prince Vs. State of Haryana and others decided on 14.11.2018, a decision taken on 07.09.2018 by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission with regard to the institutions, which were to be considered as recognized institutions for six months course in computer for the post of Mandi Supervisor-cum-Fee Collector. Details of said 16 institutions are as under:-

"01. One year Diploma for Computer Operator and Programming Assistant, Desk Top Publishing Operator, Computer Hardware and Network Maintenance and six month Diploma of Data Entry 7 of 16 ::: Downloaded on - 03-06-2023 09:42:47 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2023:PHHC:081289 CWP No. 22948 of 2018 (O&M) -8- 2023:PHHC:081289 Operator issued by Skill Development and Industrial Tranining Department.
02. Certificate Course (144 hours) of C-DAC.

14. Computer Diploma issued by a College affiliated/ recognized to University (framed under State Act/Central Act).

15. PGDCA issued by University.

16. Three years Diploma in Computer/IT from Polytechnic recognized by Technical Education Department."

10. The question that needs consideration would be whether petitioners herein, who have done their six months computer course from an institute, which is though not recognized as one of the 16 institutes as enlisted by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission, but stands duly registered, would be eligible for the posts of Mandi Supervisor-cum-Fee Collector/Auction Recorder? Secondly, would the action of the respondent-State in holding the petitioners ineligible on account of not possessing a six months computer certificate from any of the 16 institutions tantamount to changing rules of the game after initiation of selection process.

11. In the opinion of this Court, answer of both the questions would be in negative. The advertisement i.e. Advertisement No.7/2015 clearly specified that the computer certificate would have to be issued from a 'recognized institute' and not merely from a registered institute. It is worthwhile to note that most institutes open after getting themselves registered, but do not impart education and hand out certificates with impunity. No classes are held, as there is no teaching staff nor any infrastructure. Most of these institutes get registered, as it is easy to earn off the students, who are keen to get a certificate without any actual education being imparted, whereas that is not the case where institutes are recognized by the State Government itself. Computer education is of practical nature and therefore, action of the respondent-State in short-listing institutions as recognized institutions, 9 of 16 ::: Downloaded on - 03-06-2023 09:42:48 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2023:PHHC:081289 CWP No. 22948 of 2018 (O&M) -10- 2023:PHHC:081289 which impart computer education while fulfilling the parameters of qualification of faculty imparting education, number of computers, number of class rooms with basic needs as well as the infrastructure and are actually authorized to issue certificates, cannot be said to be changing rules of game after initiation of selection process. Petitioners have no locus to say that their non-selection has been impacted on account of changing rules of game midway, since they themselves do not possess six months certificate in computer from a 'recognized institute'. Employer has absolute right to adjudge the suitability of the candidates whom they want to select for running administration. Therefore, petitioners herein, who do not possess six months certificate in computer from any of the 16 institutes as held to be recognized institutions for selection to the posts in question by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission, cannot be considered to be eligible.

12. The argument raised by counsel appearing for the petitioners in CWP Nos.27292 of 2018 and 20841 of 2018 that petitioners namely Ravinder Kumar and Pankaj Kumar respectively have done their computer courses from Tata Infotech and their certificates are issued by government educational institutions, therefore they have to be held eligible, is not sustainable. In the judgment rendered a Coordinate Bench of this Court in CWP No.16953 of 2009 titled as Karam Singh Vs. State of Haryana and others decided on 06.11.2009, which has been upheld upto Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, it has been held as under:-

"Merely because the Tata Infotech Limited has entered into an agreement (Annexure P-2) with the Government of Haryana, for imparting computer education as an optional subject in the Government Educational Institutions (Schools, Colleges, Industrial 10 of 16 ::: Downloaded on - 03-06-2023 09:42:48 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2023:PHHC:081289 CWP No. 22948 of 2018 (O&M) -11- 2023:PHHC:081289 Training Institutions and Vocational Education Institutions) for short duration of computer courses, will not make the certificates (Annexures P-3 and P-4), issued by the Tata Infotech Limited, during that training, as a valid one year Diploma in computer.
These certificates have been issued for participation in computer training for a duration of 90 and 120 hours. The students, who are studying in Government Education Institutions attended those courses as an optional subject and they were given the certificates for that. Those certificates are not equivalent to one year Diploma in computer, which itself is a separate course. During the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner could not show any material/order that those certificates have been recognized by the Government as equivalent to one year Diploma course in computer. In absence of any such recognition by the Government, it cannot be held that those certificates issued by Tata Infotech Limited with counter signatures of the Principal of the College, can be considered as equivalent to one year Diploma in computer. Similar is the position with regard to the certificate (Annexure P-5) issued by the Webs Computer Education. Therefore, in my opinion, the petitioner has been rightly held to be not entitled for appointment on the post of Field Inspector (Stores) in Hafed, as he is not possessing the essential minimum qualification i.e. one year Diploma in computer.

13. In view of the aforesaid fact, certificates issued by Tata Infotech Limited cannot be taken into consideration.

14. The argument raised by counsel appearing for petitioners that some of the petitioners have done their B.Tech with computer as one of the subjects 11 of 16 ::: Downloaded on - 03-06-2023 09:42:48 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2023:PHHC:081289 CWP No. 22948 of 2018 (O&M) -12- 2023:PHHC:081289 and therefore, the same ought to have been taken into consideration looks attractive, but equivalence of a qualification is not a matter which can be determined by this Court in exercise of its judicial review. For instance, in CWP No.24062 of 2018, petitioner did B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering with Fundamental of Computer and Programming, Computer Programming Lab and Data Structures and Computer Design Hardware in 3rd and 5th Semester respectively. In CWP No.21908 of 2018, petitioner-Pardeep Kumar while doing his B.Tech (Electronics & Communication Engineering) studied Fundamentals Of Computer & Programming, Computer Programming Lab, Computer Communications, Computer Architecture & Organ, Computer Networks IT and Data Communication as subjects related to computer in 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th Semester. Similarly, petitioners in CWP No.32398 of 2018 and 34119 of 2019 have done B.Com with vocational course and studied Computer Fundamental & Logical Org, Fundamental of Database System, CAD and Advanced Computer Application as subjects in 1st to 6th semesters respectively. Determination of equivalence of any qualification is domain of experts and therefore, this Court restrains itself from going into the issue whether the subjects studied by petitioners as mentioned above would be equivalent to six months course in computer as required under the advertisement. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of U.P.P.S.C. through its Chairman v. Rahul Singh, 2018 AIR (Supreme Court) 2861 has held, "Judges are not and cannot be experts in all fields and, therefore, they must exercise great restraint and should not overstep their jurisdiction to upset the opinion of the experts." It would be appropriate to refer to the judgments as rendered by the Supreme Court to the effect that the courts 12 of 16 ::: Downloaded on - 03-06-2023 09:42:48 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2023:PHHC:081289 CWP No. 22948 of 2018 (O&M) -13- 2023:PHHC:081289 should refrain from giving their own opinion over and above the opinion given by an Expert Committee. The judgements of the Supreme Court in this regard are Kanpur University through Vice Chancellor and others v. Samir Gupta and others (1983) 4 SCC 309, Rishal and others v. Rajasthan Public Service Commission and others (2018) 8 SCC 81, Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission, through its Chairman and another v. Rahul Singh and another (2018) 7 SCC 254 and Sarita Meena v. State of Rajasthan 2021 (1) RLW 650. The Division Bench of Delhi High Court in National Board Of Examination v. Association Of Md Physicians, 2022 AIR (Delhi) 246, has also recently held that Judges are not and cannot be experts in all fields, and the opinion of experts cannot be supplanted by a Court overstepping its jurisdiction.

15. At this juncture, this Court also takes note of the fact that in CWP No.13609 of 2020 titled as Vikas Singh Vs. State of Haryana and others, this Court, with consent of parties, vide interim order dated 11.01.2023 had sent the matter to the Registrar of MDU, Rohtak to constitute an expert committee to examine the issue of equivalence of study of computer education as done by the petitioners during their B.Sc. course with six months computer certificate as required under the same advertisement i.e. Advertisement No.7/2015. Pursuant thereto, Registrar, MDU submitted his report dated 17.02.2023, which has not been challenged till today. The relevant part of the said report is reproduced as under:-

"...After perusal of the DMCs in r/o Mr. Vikas Singh, one of the petitioners who has passed B.Sc. with Computer Science as a subject from KUK (State University recognized by UGC) as well as the copy of the advertisement, List of Computer Diplomas for the post etc., the 13 of 16 ::: Downloaded on - 03-06-2023 09:42:48 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2023:PHHC:081289 CWP No. 22948 of 2018 (O&M) -14- 2023:PHHC:081289 Committee after detailed deliberation was of the considered opinion and recommended that any student with B.Sc. having studied Computer Science/Computer Application/IT subject or equivalent subject may be considered as equivalent to six months Computer Course Certificate required for the said post(s), which is also covered in the List of Courses mentioned at Sr. No.5 in the above-said memo as well as in the Advt."

16. Similarly, since it is the contention of the counsel for the petitioners that they have a higher qualification, having studied computer in the degree course for six months or more, the matter ought to be placed before an expert body to look into the issue. Possessing higher qualification cannot be held against the petitioners by declaring them ineligible on the ground that they did not possess a six months certificate in computer.

17. In view of the aforesaid findings rendered by this Court, the ultimate result of the writ petitions is as under:-
