IN THE HON’BLE HIGH COURT OF PUNAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CWP No.2928 of 2009 Date of decision: 12.7.2010 Rajvir Singh …Petitioner Versus Kurukshetra University Kurukshewtra and another …Respondents QORAM HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI Present: Mr.Sanjeev K.Tamak, Advocate for the petitioner Mr.SC Sibbal, Sr.Advocate with Mr.V.S. Rana, Advocate forrespondents The petitioner is aggrieved of the order dated 8.5.2007 (Annexure P-5) whereby services of the petitioner were terminated on the ground that he is not possessed of the requisite qualification. The respondent-University advertised a post of the Transport Supervisor vide advertisement No.5/2006 for which following qualifications were required:- “1) Naib Subedar/Subedar (Retd.) from the vehicle Mechanic Trade of Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. 2) At least Matriculation or equivalent qualifications from Army.” The petitioner has retired from the Navy from the post of Chief Petty Officer. It is stated that he was an Air Craft Handler. The petitioner has placed on record trade certificate issued by the Indian Navy. In this certificate, it is mentioned that the petitioner CWP No.2928 of 2009 :2: has undergone various courses of short duration namely, Airmanship, Airman Aircraft Handler etc. The experience of the petitioner also includes driving and handling of Light Motor Vehicles etc. Based upon the aforesaid Certificate, it is contended that the petitioner is duly qualified. It is also contended that the post from which the petitioner retired was equivalent to Naib Subedar/Subedar of the Army. However, the petitioner has not placed on record any material that the post and the qualification possessed by the petitioner are equivalent. It is not for this Court to venture into such an area unless sufficient material has been placed on record. It is the prerogative of the employer to find out the equivalence of the post and the qualification. Admittedly, the petitioner was Air Craft Handler, though might have undergone some additional courses, but he definitely did not retire from the post of Naib Subedar/Subedar and he do not possess the qualification of Mechanic Trade of Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. In this view of the matter, I find no merit in this writ petition. Dismissed. (Permod Kohli) Judge 12.7.2010 MFK
