The petitioner challenges the order dated 19th November 206 whereby the Education Officer has declined to approve appointment of the petitioner as Shikshan Sevak because he does not hold D.Ed. qualification, the petitioner holds qualification of B.Sc., B.Ed. It is common ground that the required qualification for the post of Shikshan Sevak is D.Ed. The learned counsel relied on a judgment of the Division Bench of this Court in writ petition No.5485 of 2004 (Shri Hanumant A. Waghmode v/s State of Maharashtra and ors.) dated 15th July 2004. Perusal of that judgment shows that that judgment is not in relation to the appointment of post Shikshan Sevak but it is about grant of graduate scale to 25 % of the posts. We do not see any substance in the petition. It is rejected. . Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of the Court. . Certified copy expedited. ( D.K. DESHMUKH J.) ( N.D. DESHPANDE J.)
