State of Madhya Pradesh – Respondent
ORDER
1. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 28.1.2019 (Annexure P/1), whereby his probation is declared complete and he is confirmed in service w.e.f. 29.4.2007, instead of 2 years after his appointment, i.e. 9.7.2006 as the period of probation was only for two years. He has prayed for a direction to the respondents to correct the date of confirmation of his service and to extend him consequential benefits.
2. The petitioner initially held the qualification of M.A. (English).

A corrigendum to the advertisement was thereafter issued on 02.10.2003 (Annexure P/3) prescribing the necessary educational qualification for appointment on the post. The qualification prescribed is as under:-

Qualifications for lecturer appointments must be met at the time of appointment, and later-acquired qualifications do not retroactively qualify an individual.
Eligibility for promotion under the Rajasthan High Court Staff Service Rules is based on grade rather than specific post, but mere financial upgradation does not confer entitlement to promotion.
