FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 6269 OF 2011 "Manohar Vishwas Patil Vs. The State of Maharashtra and others." Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's Orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. 1 Mr. Pradeep Deshmukh, Advocate holding for Mr. H.A. Joshi, Advocate for petitioner. Mrs. A.V. Gondhalekar, AGP for respondent No.1. Mr. A.B. Girase, Advocate for respondent No.2. CORAM :- B.R. GAVAI & M.T. JOSHI, JJ. DATE :- 28TH SEPTEMBER, 2011. PER COURT :- 1] Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of parties. Though respondent nos. 2 and 3 are duly served, neither of them have filed any reply to the petition. IN that view of the matter, the allegations in the petition will have to be treated as uncontroverted. 2] It is the contention of the petitioner that though the petitioner is duly qualified as per the advertisement published by the respondent No.3, and even as per the regulations of the UGC, approval has been denied to him on an erroneous ground that he does not possess 15 years of post Ph.D. Degree experience. FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 6269 OF 2011 "Manohar Vishwas Patil Vs. The State of Maharashtra and others." Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's Orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. 2 3] The advertisement, which is annexed at page 16 and 17, and which is also available on the website of the University would reveal that what is required in the advertisement is 15 years of teaching experience in the college. Since there is no dispute regarding petitioner's possessing the qualification as required in the advertisement, we do not find it necessary to advert to the other qualifications. 4] We, therefore, find that the decision of the University in refusing approval to the petitioner only on the ground that he does not possess 15 years of post Ph.D. Experience, is totally erroneous. When the advertisement requires that a candidate should have only 15 years of teaching experience, the University cannot impose any additional condition, particularly, without the same being published in the advertisement on its website. 5] In that view of the matter, Rule is made absolute in terms of prayer clauses (A) and (B).
