THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.9232 of 2011 ORDER: The respondents issued a notification for selection and appointment of Assistant Grade-III (Technical). The qualification stipulated therefor was graduation and ‘O’ level computer qualification prescribed by the department of Electronics and Computer Courses or a degree in Computer Science, or Computer Application. The petitioner holds a degree qualification, but was pursuing M.C.A. course. Treating himself to be qualified, he submitted application and appeared in the written test. However, he was not selected. He challenges the action of the respondents in not selecting him. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner, no doubt, held the graduation qualification. However, he did not comply with other requirements. Though M.C.A. degree, on completion, would be far superior to the ‘O’ level computer qualification, the fact remains that the petitioner was only pursuing the M.C.A. course, but did not complete it. Therefore, he cannot be treated as qualified. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:25.08.2011 GJ
