Pallavi Tiwari D/O Bhagwan Tiwari vs Union Of India Thru Ministry Of Human ... on 25 October, 2010
(e) Notification dated 30.4.2010 issued by the State of U.P. by which the eligibility criteria was changed from 45% marks to 50% marks for the purposes of appearance in the Combined Entrance Examination B.Ed. 2010 is an illegal exercise of power on the part of the respondents, and thus changing the eligibility criteria from 45% to 50% when the students have already filled up their forms and the last date for submitting the same had already expired, is an action arbitrary in nature and they cannot do the same in view of the principle of promissory estoppel. Learned counsel for the petitioner in order to press the said arguments relied on the judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Himani Mehrotra Vs. High Court of Delhi, (2008) 7 SCC 11.
