petitioner was allotted to participate in the promotion counselling and promoted to the post of B.T.Assistant(Science) as per the proceedings dated 30.11.2018. However, the second respondent had addressed a letter to the University of Madras and sought for clarification as to whether B.Sc. Degree (Telugu medium) in Dr.B.R.Ambedkar Univerisity is equivalent to B.Sc. Degree of Madras University. Since no clarification was received from the Registrar of Madras University, the petitioner was reverted to the post of Secondary Grade Teacher as per the proceedings dated 19.10.2019. Now the University of Madras has sent clarification to the effect that the degree acquired by the petitioner is considered equivalent to the B.Sc. degree in Zoology in the University of Madras. Therefore, the request of the petitioner for inclusion of the name of the petitioner in the panel for promotion to the post of B.T.Assistant was considered and accordingly, the petitioner was subsequently promoted to the post of B.T.Assistant.
