mss IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO. 329 OF 2009 SEEMA VITHALRAO DAHAT .. .. PETITIONERS Vs. STATE OF MAHARASHTRA & ORS. .. .. RESPONDENTS Mr. N. V. Bandiwadekar for the petitioner Mrs. M. P. Thakur, AGP CORAM: SMT. RANJANA DESAI & A. A. SAYED, JJ. DATED: 23/9/2009 P.C. The petitioner has challenged the order issued by 3rd respondent i.e. the District Vocation Education and Training Officer, Ratnagiri refusing approval to her appointment as Full Time Instructor in Marketing and Salesmanship in respondent No. 5 College. 2. The case of the 2nd respondent as stated in the affidavit of Shri Ramesh Asawa, Joint Director Vocational Education and Training, Regional Office, Mumbai appears to be that the petitioner does not fulfill the qualification as required by Recruitment Rule dated 28/7/2000. It is stated in the affidavit that the petitioner has only passed M.S.C.I.T. Exam. She has not successfully completed Certificate Course in Computer Application which is recognized by Board of Vocational Education Maharashtra State Mumbai or an examination equivalent thereto. 3. We have heard Mr. Bandiwadekar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. He has drawn our attention to the Maharashtra Civil Services (Requirement of Knowledge of Computer Operation) Rules 1999. Rule 2 thereof defines certificate as a Certificate in Computer Operation recognised by the Government. Learned Counsel has drawn our attention to G.R. dated 7/8/09 issued by the Government of Maharashtra. In short this G.R. inter alia states that for appointment in Government service for the posts stated therein a person who has a certificate of having passed M.S.C.I.T. examination would be eligible. Learned counsel submitted that, if for appointment in Government service passing of M.S.C.I.T. exam is sufficient, that qualification would also be sufficient for the post of Full Time Instructor. 4. It is not possible for us to take such a view. The petitioner does not have certificate issued by the Board of Vocational Education Maharashtra State certifying that she has cleared the certificate course in Computer Application recognised by the said Board. The court cannot impose any qualification on the appointing authority. If a person does not have prescribed qualification under relevant recruitment rules, the court cannot direct that he may be appointed to the said post by equating that qualification with some other qualification. 5. In the circumstances the petition cannot be entertained and hence it is dismissed. (Smt. Ranjana Desai, J.) (A. A. Sayed, J.)
