Date: 11th June 2009. P.C.: 01- Heard. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that based on the order passed by the Nagpur Bench in WP No.3675/2003 dated 05/12/2003, protection be granted to the petitioner by accepting the cut off date which was earlier from the year 1991-1999. Admittedly the petitioner is {2} not selected by duly appointed selection committee by the University. Admittedly the petitioner was selected by the local committee in 2001. The petitioner’s services are not approved by the University. The petitioner is continued by the management for the reasons best known to them. The petitioner wants extension of cut off date from the year 1999 onwards so that it covers the date of appointment of petitioner and protect the services of the petitioner. The petitioner therefore prays that his case be referred to University Grant Commission for approval. 02- We have considered the submissions advanced by the counsel for Management, and the arguments advanced by counsel for UGC and learned AGP. Learned AGP for the State has filed affidavit in reply along with some documents. We have perused the same and more particularly Ex.R-1, Ex.R-2 and Ex.R-3. We are convinced with the case of the State. In the facts of the case no such prayer could be allowed in favour of the petitioner by granting extension to the cut of date from 1999 onwards. No case is made out. The petition is dismissed. Interim relief stands vacated. [N.D.DESHPANDE] [NARESH H.PATIL] JUDGE JUDGE. /mda/0609/wp5152.07
