Tarlok Singh Chauhan, J
The instant petition has been filed for the grant of following reliefs:-
“(i) The action of the respondents whereby the respondents have cancelled the candidature of the petitioner for his consideration to promotion for
the post of Senior Assistant solely on the ground that the petitioner had done his 10+2 from respondent No.4 institution, may kindly be quashed and set
aside.
(ii) The respondents may kindly be directed to consider the petitioner for the promotion to the post of Senior Assistant as per the Seniority List.â€
The grievance of the petitioner is that his 10+2 Class certificate issued by respondent No.4, Grameen Mukt Vidhyalayi Shiksha Sansthan, is not
being treated as valid certificate for the purpose of promotion to the post of Senior Assistant.
The similar issue in respect of validity of the certificate(s) issued by respondent No.4, Grameen Mukt Vidhyalayi Shiksha Sansthan, has been
adjudicated by this Court in CWP No.849 of 2019, titled Priyanka Devi versus State of Himachal Pradesh & others, decided on 10.09.2019, wherein, it
has been held that the said institute was duly recognized with Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education during the period 01.12.2017 to
05.02.2019.
It is not in dispute that 10+2 Class certificate of the petitioner (Annexure P-1), was issued by the Grameen Mukt Vidhyalayi Shiksha Sansthan,
during the aforesaid period 01.12.2017 to 05.02.2019. Therefore, the same is valid and effective for all intents and purposes i.e. for promotion, applying
for government jobs or getting admission for higher education in the State of Himachal Pradesh.
In view of the above, there shall be a direction to the respondents-State to consider the 10+2 Class certificate of the petitioner issued by Grameen
Mukt Vidhyalayi Shiksha Sansthan, as a valid certificate for promotion, applying to government jobs or getting admission for higher education.
With the aforesaid observations/directions, the instant writ petition stands disposed of, so also pending miscellaneous application.
