Giri, brought to the Court\u2019s notice that the controversy in the said judgment was principally concerning the cases of in-service candidates who were initially employed as diploma holders but while in service had been awarded degrees in Engineering by Deemed to be Universities in question through distance learning mode; and that this Court was not called upon to consider cases where such degrees themselves became the foundation for a subsequent employment or selection and further advancement in career. He, hence, submitted:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201can exception be made in favour of such candidates whose qualifications were independently considered by an authority such as UPSC and were selected through competitive selection process and in any case, even if the Judgment were to apply to such candidates, the suspension of their degrees and all advantages flowing therefrom till they pass the test as indicated in the judgment ought not to be insisted upon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Refusing to grant such exception, the Court said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe infirmity in their degrees is basic and fundamental and cannot be wished away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, at the same time, the Court found some force in the submission that if the suspension of their degrees and all advantages were to apply as indicated in the judgment, the concerned candidates may lose their jobs and even if they were to successfully pass the test, restoration of their jobs and present position would pose some difficulty and hence, gave the aforementioned clarification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court, hence, clarified that this facility is given as one-time exception so that those who have the ability and can pass the test in the first attempt itself, should not be put to inconvenience. If the candidates pass in such first attempt, they would be entitled to retain all the advantages. But if they fail or choose not to appear, the directions in the judgment shall apply, in that the degrees and all advantages shall stand suspended and withdrawn. It was further clarified:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cno more such chances or exceptions will be given or made. They will undoubtedly be entitled to appear on the second occasion in terms of the judgment but this exception shall not apply for such second attempt.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court, hence, directed AICTE to conduct the test in May-June 2018 and declare the result well in time. AICTE shall however extend the time to exercise the option to appear at the test suitably. [Orissa Lift Irrigation Corp. Ltd. v.
