We have heard Mr.Karnik with Mr.Paralikar, the learned Counsel for the Petitioner in this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The petitioner prays for directions to treat her as a qualified Lecturer with Respondent No.1 University and restore her senior payscale. 2. Admittedly, the petitioner has passed her MBBS degree in 1981 and has further passed DCH examination in 1985. She came to be : 2 : wp.8627.2010 appointed as a part time Lecturer by Respondent No.1 University and she continues to be so as of now. It was pointed out by the University that unless she has a qualification equivalent to M.Sc., she cannot be placed in senior payscale. The Registrar of Respondent No.1 University by his letter dated 2.2.2010 called upon the petitioner to bring an equivalence certificate from the Mumbai University and, therefore, by her letter dated 18.1.2010, approached the Registrar of the Mumbai University. On 28.1.2010, the Deputy Registrar of Mumbai University informed the petitioner that M.Sc. Degree is awarded under the faculty of Science and MBBS degree is awarded under the faculty of Medicine and, therefore, the question of issuing equivalence certificate of MBBS with M.Sc. Physiology did not arise. Thus, the petitioner is not qualified to be appointed as a Lecturer in Physiology with Respondent No.1 University or Respondent No.2 unless she obtains the M.Sc. Physiology. 3. In these circumstances, there is no case made out to entertain the petition for the reliefs prayed for. 4. Petition is rejected summarily. (SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J.) (B.H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
