Lsp IN IN IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL CIVIL CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION APPELLATE JURISDICTION APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 3306 of 2008 Prashant M. Pacharne & ors. ...Petitioners V/s. The State of Maharashtra & other ...Respondent Mr.A.B.Tejane and A.A.Deshpande for the Petitioners Mr.V.A.Sonpal,AGP for Respondent No.1 CORAM CORAM CORAM : D.K.DESHMUKH & : D.K.DESHMUKH & : D.K.DESHMUKH & N.D.DESHPANDE, N.D.DESHPANDE, N.D.DESHPANDE, JJ JJ JJ 3rd 3rd 3rd June, 2008 June, 2008 June, 2008 P.C. . By this petition the Petitioner challenges the Government Resolution dated 2-5-2008 which lays down that for being appointed as Shikshan Sevak a person should have D.Ed. qualifications. By Government Resolution dated 1-4-2008 the Government permitted the persons who have passed the examination of D.Ed. but have not yet completed internship to apply for the said post. By Government Resolution dated 2-5-2008 the Government has declared that for the purpose of making appointment against the vacancies that are existing at the beginning of academic year 2008-09 the authority should prepare two lists, one list should contain names of candidates who have completed their D.Ed. course and have obtained the diploma and one list consisting of persons who have yet not obtained their diploma but are 2 undergoing internship. It is further provided that while making appointment to fill up the vacancies at the beginning of the academic year 2008-09 first list should be operated and persons who are already qualified should be appointed. If any vacancy remains or vacancy arises thereafter, candidates from both the lists should be considered. According to the petitioner this Government Resolution which does not permit appointment of the persons who have not yet completed their internship against the existing vacancies is discriminatory. We do not find any substance in the submission of learned counsel because if necessary qualification for being appointed to the post of Shikshan Sevak is possession of the diploma in Education then the Government in our opinion is perfectly justified in directing that while making appointments only those persons who have already completed the diploma should be considered. In our opinion, it will otherwise adversely affect the interest of students for teaching whom these appointments are being made. We do not see any reason to interfere. The Petition is rejected.
