Based on the provided legal document, the degree obtained by the private respondents, specifically the AMICE degree from the Institute of Civil Engineering India Ludhiana, is considered valid and equivalent to the degree of AMIE (Associate Member of Institution of Engineers). The court clarified that both degrees are recognized by the Government of India and the Law Department as being in the same category, with the addition of the word 'Civil' in the degree not altering its fundamental recognition or validity (!)

Furthermore, the court noted that the degree of AMIE prescribed under the relevant rules is also recognized as equivalent to a B.E./B.Tech degree in Civil Engineering, and the inclusion of 'Civil' in the degree of AMIE does not disqualify or invalidate it (!) (!) .
