According to the petitioner she has passed 10th class from the 'Prayag Mahila Vidyapeeth' in the year 2015 and as such the said educational certificate is genuine as obtained from recognized Board and hence the cancellation of candidature on the ground of having not the minimum standard of 10th pass from the recognized Board is absolutely incorrect for rejecting the candidature of the petitioner. He further submits that even accepting that the Board has not got its recognition from the authorized body but it could not be said to be any misrepresentation on the part of the petitioner, therefore forfeiture of the earnest money of Rs. 40,000/- is not proper. It is the further case of the petitioner that the decision to reject the candidature ought to have been taken at the threshold but the respondent after allowing her to deposit the earnest money and when in the lottery she has been declared to be successful, rejecting the candidature of the petitioner shows the ulterior motive of the respondent. 4.

Since the petitioner has participated in the draw meaning thereby the conditions of advertisement stipulated in the brochure or guideline is binding and as such condition stipulated in Clause 26 is binding upon the petitioner and since admittedly the certificate of 10th Class is not from a recognized institute hence the same is being incorrect, therefore, forfeiture of the earnest money cannot be said to suffer from any illegality. 15. In view thereof, in the fact and circumstances of the case, this Court does not find any reason to interfere with the order impugned, accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.
