Full Judgment
CWP No.14285 of 2014 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.14285 of 2013 Date of decision:18.3.2014 The Central Apprentice Advisor ….Petitioner VERSUS Manoj Kumar and others .....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE Mr.JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA HON’BLE Mr.JUSTICE FATEH DEEP SINGH Present: Mr.Saurabh Arora, Advocate for the petitioner.
******* HEMANT GUPTA, J.(Oral) The challenge in the present writ petition is to an order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench, Chandigarh (for short ‘the Tribunal’) on 30.04.2013 whereby an original application filed by 10 applicants for issuance of Certificate of Apprenticeship was allowed.
The petitioner selected the applicants for training as apprentice for a period of 1 year in the Jagadhri Workshop of Indian Railways.
The applicants claimed to have undergone proficiency training but the Railways failed to send the certificate of completion of training to the petitioner, therefore, the certificate of proficiency on the basis of completion of apprenticeship training was not issued to them.
Aggrieved against the non-issuance of certificate of proficiency, the applicants invoked the jurisdiction of the Central Administrative Tribunal and vide the order impugned in the writ petition, the same was allowed.

It transpires that the fact of imparting training on the basis of sponsorship by the petitioner is not disputed but it is asserted that due to certain administrative lapses the Apprenticeship Contract-Registration Card could not get registered at the time of commencement of training.
It is so mentioned in the communication dated 24.09.2012 of the Jagadhri Workshop, appended with the writ petition as an additional document.
Once factually, the applicants have undergone apprenticeship training for the fault of Railways or for any other reason, the issuance of certificate of proficiency cannot be denied to the applicants.
In view thereof, we do not find any illegality in the order passed by the Tribunal which may warrant interference in the present writ petition.
Dismissed.
