 PER COURT :

 .                Mr. Bora, learned counsel submits that benefit of one

 advance         increment        on   account      of     acquiring        M.     Pharm

qualification is negatived by the respondents on the ground that

M. Pharm cannot be equated with M. Phil and M. Tech. In AICTE

notification the reference is not made to M. Pharm qualification.

2. Mr. Bora, learned advocate has referred the

judgment of this Court in Writ Petition No.14701/2017 dated 4 th

of September 2018 (Manjula Ashok Suralkar Vs. The State of

Maharashtra and Ors) to contend that the qualification of M.Tech

and M.Phil in the notification is only illustrative. This Court in the

WP No.8486/2021

said judgment extended the benefit of one advance increment

for acquiring M. Pharm qualification in the petition therein.

3. Issue notice to the respondents. The learned A.G.P.

waives notice for respondent Nos. 1, 2 and 3. Mr. Dharurkar,

learned advocate waives notice for respondent No.4.

4. At the request of respondents, stand over to

26.8.2021.
