In Brief
Multiple candidates and the Orissa Lift Irrigation Corporation Limited disputed whether graduates with degrees from JRN Rajasthan Vidyapeeth's unapproved distance education programme qualified as eligible graduate engineers under a 1994 State notification offering accommodation against Assistant Engineer posts. The Court held that a degree lacking competent authority approval does not constitute a valid qualification from a recognized University. The 1994 notification applied only to 22 specific vacancies for engineers already continuing as junior engineers and did not extend to non-graduate engineers. The matter was adjourned for further hearing.">
