3. The dispute which has given rise to filing of this writ petition is with regard to the second qualification i.e. 'O' level diploma in computer awarded by the DOEACC Society or atleast one year diploma in Computer Science from any recognised University/ institution.

4. Writ petitioners contend that the Commission has undertaken an exercise to determine eligibility of candidates who have applied for the post in question on the basis of which a publication is made on 3.8.2019 as per which about 800 candidates have been excluded from the zone of consideration on the ground that they are ineligible. This publication is contained in Annexure-11 to the writ petition. According to the petitioners large number of  ineligible candidates have been permitted to participate while persons possessing requisite qualification have been ousted/ excluded, contrary to the advertisement.

9. Upon being confronted with regard to the import of the second condition i.e. one year diploma in Computer Science from any recognised University/ Institution, Sri G.K. Singh, learned Senior Counsel for the Commission, on the basis of instructions received makes a categorical statement before the Court that the one year diploma in Computer Science has to be from any recognised University or Institution established by law. It is stated that while allowing the candidates to appear in the interview, the Commission shall ensure that only those persons are permitted to appear in the interview who either possessed 'O' level diploma in computer awarded by the DOEACC Society or atleast one year diploma in Computer Science from any recognised University/ Institution established by law.

10. Sri Anoop Trivedi, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners submits with vehemence that the Commission has acted contrary to the stand which is now taken by its senior counsel today in Court. It is urged that as against the stipulation of one year diploma in Computer Science the Commission has also permitted those candidates whose diploma is in computer application. It is also urged that opportunity has been given to the other candidates to demonstrate that their diploma certificate is in accordance with the advertisement/ rules but such opportunity has been denied to petitioners.
