12.03.2015 Heard learned counsel for the parties.
Writ application is required to be dismissed on
the simple ground that there is no error apparent on the face of record either of fact or law. Petitioner is a holder of a so called degree from Hindi Sahitya Sammellan, Allahabad, which is neither a teaching institution nor an institution imparting any knowledge or degree. The above position has been amply laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Rajasthan Pradesh Vaidya
