CWP No. 1220 of 2009 23.4.2009 Present: Ms. Suman Thakur, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. D.K.Khanna, counsel for the respondent. Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. P.K. Sharma, Additional Advocate General, for the State in CMP Nos. 2273 & 2274 of 2009 Petitioner seeks indulgence of this court by means of the present writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, so as to enable her to seek appointment as Lecturer (College Cadre), by being called for interview for such post by the respondent. Facts, as stated in the petition, are that certain posts of lecturer (College Cadre) in English subject were advertised and the last date for submission of application was 26.9.2008. As per advertisement, the candidates were supposed to have completed their educational qualification, prescribed as minimum qualification on or before the last date for receipt of applications, i.e. 26.9.2008. Essential qualification for the post was M.A. in English with M.Phil. or Phd. or U.G.C., NET clearance. Petitioner’s case is that she fulfils the qualification because she has passed the M.A. examination and had also submitted thesis for M.Phil and was to be only called for viva voce for the degree of M.Phil and that now after the last date for receipt of the applications, viva voce has also taken place and she has passed the M. Phil. examination. Admittedly, the petitioner did not possess the M.Phil. degree nor had she been subjected to viva voce test for the said degree upto the last date for receipt of the application and, therefore, in terms of the advertisement, she was not eligible to apply for the post. Thus, we see no merit in her petition and the same is, therefore, dismissed. In view of the dismissal of the main writ petition, all the pending CMPs also stand disposed of. ( R. B. Misra ), J.
