IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CIVIL JURISDICTION Writ Petition No. 2047 of 2005 Manohar M Chavan .. petitioner vs State of Mah & anr..Respondents Mr V.S. Deokar with L N Bedekar for petitioner Mr. R.D.Rane GP for State CORAM: A.P.SHAH & D.Y.CHANDRACHUD JJ. CORAM: A.P.SHAH & D.Y.CHANDRACHUD JJ. CORAM: A.P.SHAH & D.Y.CHANDRACHUD JJ. Dated 22.6.2005 Dated 22.6.2005 Dated 22.6.2005 P.C: . We have heard the learned counsel for the parties. Perused the affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents. There is no dispute that for the post of primary teacher requisite qualification is D.Ed and B.Ed qualification cannot be regarded as equivalent to D.Ed. Admittedly the petitioner does not hold the qualification of D Ed. The qualification of CTC also cannot be regarded as equivalent to D.Ed. Therefore the Education Officer has rightly declined to grant approval to the appointment of the petitioner. It is also interesting to note that the petitioner happens to be the President of the Institution and the post was advertised under his signature and surprisingly he got himself appointed for the said post though he was not qualified for the post. In the circumstances no relief can be granted to the petitioner. Petition is dismissed.
