qualification prescribed for a last grade service post, and more particularly the post of Office Subordinate, is a pass in VII Class. However, it is relevant to note that, be it for whatever reason, the Zilla Grandhalaya Samstha, Y.S.R. District, prescribed a higher qualification than that prescribed under the Rules of 1992 in its notification dated 01.02.2014, viz., a pass in VIII Class. Sri K.Rama Subba Rao, learned counsel, does not dispute the fact that his client accepted the aforestated notification as it stood and responded thereto without raising any protest as to the minimum educational qualification prescribed therein. It is therefore too late in the day for him to now turn around and lay a challenge to the minimum educational qualification prescribed in the said notification by indirect means. We therefore hold that this challenge to the prescription of a higher minimum educational qualification in the notification at this late stage cannot be accepted. On both grounds, we find no merit in the contentions urged by the learned counsel and see no reason to interfere with the order passed by the Tribunal.
