Date Of Acquisition Of Qualification Is Date Of Declaration Of Results, Not Date Of Issuance Of Provisional Certificate: Andhra Pradesh HC

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has reiterated that date of acquiring requisite qualification would be from the date of declaration of results and not the date on which the provisional certificate was issued. “The material aspect; as to whether this memo dated 05.02.1992 clarifies 'last date of examination' as under Regulation-33 or the date of issuance of the provisional certificate is deemed to be the date of obtaining the degree, escaped consideration. The issuance of the provisional certificate, degree or diploma, is only the proof of acquisition of such qualification, but the date of issuance is not the date of acquisition of the qualification.” Background: The review was filed challenging the order passed in an Appeal, that confirmed the order passed by the single judge. The authorities issued a memo dated March 23, 2012, converting his post from AAE to AE effective from March 22, 2012 - the date of the provisional certificate issuance.
