None appears for the petitioner at the time of call. Heard Mr. B. Satpathy, learned Standing Counsel for School and Mass Education Department.
The petitioners have filed this writ petition seeking for direction to the opposite parties to consider their cases for the post of Art Education Instructors keeping in view the letter dated 23.07.1973 and corrigendum dated 21.-1.2013 within a stipulated period.
Mr. B. Satpathy, learned Standing Counsel for School and Mass Education Department contended that the petitioners applied for the post of Part Time Instructors for Cuttack district pursuant to advertisement dated 11.01.2013 in Annexure-1. He further stated that the petitioners have requisite qualification certificates issued by Pracheen Kala Kendra, Chandigarh. He further contended that Pracheen Kala Kendra, Chandigarh and Akhila Bharatiya Gandharb Mahavidyalaya, Mumbai are not Universities within the meaning of Section 2(f) of the U.G.C. Act 1956. Thereby they are coming under the purview of University Grants Commission. Since the petitioners have no requisite qualification, their cases have not been considered.
In view of the above, this Court does not find any merit of the case. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed.
