ORDER

1. Regard being had to the similitude in the contraversy involved in the present cases, the writ petitions were analogously heard and by a common order, they are being disposed of by this Court. Facts of Writ Petition No. 1465/2010, (s) are narrated hereunder.

2. The petitioners before this Court have filed this present petition being aggrieved by annexure P-1, by which the Deputy Commissioner, Land Records has directed all the Collectors of the State of Madhya Pradesh to scrutinize the certificates, in respect of qualifications of the candidates, who had been declared selected in the Patwari examination.

3. The contention of the petitioners is that they had obtained the certificate of Diploma in Computer Application by Dr. C.V. Raman University, Bilaspur and the same is recognized and affiliated by University Grant Commission. The petitioners grievance is that the respondents are not accepting the certificate of Diploma in Computer Application, issued by Dr. C.V. Raman University, Bilaspur, for the reasons best known to them.

4. A reply has been filed in the matter and the respondents ill their reply have stated that the matter stands concluded by a judgment delivered by this Court in the case of Ajay Awasthi and another v. State of M.P. and others, W.P.No. 8802/2009 decided on 5.10.2009. The contention of the respondent-State is that the certificate issued by the University in question should have been issued by the University itself with the seal and signature of the Competent Authority.

5. Heard learned counsel for the parties at length and perused the record.

6. In the present case, the petitioners have obtained Diploma in Computer Application in the year 2007-2008 from the Dr. C.V. Raman University, Bilaspsur. As per the document enclosed along with the writ petition, it is relevant that the University is affiliated with the University Grants Commission and there is no denial in the return submitted by the State Government. A Division Bench of this Court in the case of Ajay Awasthi and another v. State of Madhya Pradesh and others in paragraph 31,32 and 33 has held as under :

"31. Be it noted, many of the candidates had produced certificates from the institutes run under the Maharishi Yogi Vedic Vishwavidyalya Adhiniyam, 1995 which is an Act to establish and incorporate a University in the State of Madhya Pradesh and to provide for education and prosecution of research in Vedic learnings and practice and to provide for matters connect therewith or incidental thereto. The University as has been defined under the Act means the Maharshi Mahesh Yogi Vedic University established under this Act. Section 4 of the Act deals with powers of the University. Sub-section 4 (1) (a) of section 4 reads as under:

"4 (i) (a) grant, subject to such conditions as the University may determine, Diplomas or certificates and confer degrees or other academic distinctions on the basis of examination, evaluation Of any other method of testing on persons and withdraw any such diplomas, certificates, degrees or other academic distinctions for good and sufficient cause.

" Section 2 (1) defines institution. It reads as under:

"Institution" means an academic institution, not being a college maintained by the University."

Section 29 (o) defines' recognized institution' which is as under:

"Recognized institution" means an institution of higher learning recognized by the University."

32. Thus, it is evincible that section 4 of the Act deals with powers of the University. Sub-section (vi) empowers the University to establish and maintain colleges, institutions and halls. The institutions are established by the University but the diploma are eventually conferred by the University itself. What is required by the letter-circular is to produce diploma or certificates with the seal of the University and with the signature of the competent authority of the University.
