Dalpat Abasaheb Solunke And Ors. vs Dr. B.S. Mahajan And Ors. on 6 December, 1989
56. The fifth judgment, which has been relied upon by
respondent University is in the case of Dalpat Abasaheb Vs. Dr.
B.S. Mahajan and others (1990) 1 SCC 305. This judgment is also not
applicable to the present case. In the present case, this Court is
not comparing the merits of the candidates assessed by the
Selection Committee.
Major General I.P.S. Dewan vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors. on 7 March, 1995
55. After reading the aforesaid judgment, this Court comes to
the conclusion that the ratio laid down by the Supreme Court in
that judgment is also not applicable to the present case. In the
present case, we are not scrutinizing the relative merits of the
petitioner and the selected candidate - respondent no. 2. Here,
the issue, which this Court is examining is - whether the selected
candidate, who did not have the qualification prescribed, could
be considered as eligible, without determining the equivalence of
subject "Linguistics" with the subject "English" by the Academic
33
Council. Therefore, this judgment also will not help the
respondent University.
The University Of Mysore And Anr vs C. D. Govinda Rao And Anr on 26 August, 1963
57. The sixth judgment which is relied upon by the respondent
University is in the case of University of Mysore Vs. C. D. Govinda
Rao AIR 1965 SC 491, which, in fact, arose from a writ petition
filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a writ
of Quo Warranto. In paragraph 12 of this judgment, it is observed
that whether the foreign degree is equivalent to a High Second
Class Master's degree of an Indian University, is purely an
academic matter and Courts would naturally hesitate to express a
definite opinion, specially when the selection Board of experts
considers a particular foreign university degree so equivalent. In
fact, this judgment supports the petitioner's submission, that the
determination of equivalence between subjects / courses, is a
purely academic issue, which could only be determined by the
Academic Council.
Moti Lal Nehru Medical College Teachers ... vs State Of U.P. & Others on 13 August, 2015
College Teacher Association and another Vs State of
U.P. and others, Public Interest Litigation (PIL) No. 35375 of 2015
35
with Writ A No. 38658 of 2015, decided by the Allahabad High
Court on 07.09.2015. In Gorakhpur University Aff. (supra) the
Division Bench, inter alia, observed as under :
Madras Inst.Of Dev. Studies & Anr vs K. Sivasubramaniyan & Ors on 20 August, 2015
50. Learned counsel for the respondent University has relied
upon several judgments of the Supreme Court. He has first
placed reliance upon the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court in
the case of Madras Institute of Development Studies and Another Vs.
K. Sivasubramaniyan and other (2016) 1 SCC 454, and has referred
paragraphs 12 to 21 of the said judgment. We have gone through
this judgment. This case is on a different footing. The issue of
eligibility was not in question. The issue, which was dealt by the
Supreme Court in this case, was whether a person, who
consciously takes part in the selection process, cannot thereafter,
turn around and question the method of selection. This
proposition is no more res integra. Here, the facts of the present
case are totally different. By an advertisement, applications were
30
invited for appointment to the post of Assistant Professor
(English), Department of English. However, the Screening-cum-
Scrutiny Committee short-listed respondent no. 2, who after
selection, was recommended for appointment, though she was
not having the qualification in English, and claimed to be eligible
on the ground that her qualification could be considered as
concerned / relevant / allied to the qualification in English.
Short-listing a candidate, who was not having the advertised
qualification, and then recommending such candidate for short-
listing without taking matter to the Academic Council, and
selecting her was totally unwarranted.
