Criterion No.1: Preparedness

Synopsis - Nil
Note: SIOM-RC’s website, on the other hand, says that:-
• The candidates will be informed about guides allotted
to them shortly and they are required to meet the guides
allotted to them and take guidance in preparation of the
proposal (synopsis).
• The research student shall be required to make a brief
presentation of Ph.D. research proposal (synopsis) at the
place of research (SIOM) before a committee.
• The presentation will be arranged by Head Research
center, SIOM and the date will be declared soon.
• The date of successful presentation will be the date of
registration (date of provisional admission).
That is to say, no Synopsis will be accepted unless it is
approved by the allotted Guide and finally by the
Committee which evaluates its presentation.

Bio-Data @ not asked for by SIOM-RC 4-page Bio-Data submitted
The Group which runs the college in which she is
employed, also runs a University in Pune itself by the
name ‘Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth’ (Deemed University)
and it also conducts Ph.D. in ‘Management’ -- why did
she not get admission in the said University? And why
does she wish to block a Vacancy for 5 years in Pune
22

Book and one of the Articles published on
Editorial page of ‘The Pioneer’ were shown
to the Interview Panel

Further Notes:
University?
On the other hand, the Petitioner will be able to complete
his Ph.D. in less than 2 years (once his prayer is granted)
and, thus, the Vacancy will be available to another
student.
* ‘Shreyas’ is the Name of Meenal’s Husband. If Mrs Meenal Shreyas Rao has claimed before the re-Interview Panel on or before 11.06.2012
(or before the Interview Panel on 20.03.2012) at SIOM-RC that the Papers written by one Ms Shreya Rao (without an ‘s’ in ‘Shreya’, and
without the name ‘Meenal’) in a Taxation journal, as her own then please be informed that “Ms Shreya Rao” is a different person altogether --
she is from Andhra (not Maharashtra), her husband’s name is NOT ‘Shreyas’ and she is an LLM and her specialisation is ‘Taxation’, NOT
‘HRM’ (The Petitioner also have her photograph).
# Petitioner’s surname is not used for the past several years
$ Details (in Bold) for Mrs Meenal Shreyas Rao are taken from ‘Mandatory Disclosure’ page of Dr DY Patil Institute of Management Studies,
Akurdi, Pune
^ There was typographical error in the copy of the Testimonial submitted to SIOM-RC, viz. the date of signatures was erroneously typed as
14.03.2014, instead of 14.03.2012 -- the same has since been corrected
@ Refers to the List of Documents displayed by SIOM-RC (however, no ‘evaluation criteria’ was displayed/ intimated by SIOM-RC; even 2-
page bio-data and Synopsis were never asked for either at the website or by email -- despite Petitioner’s 2 emails to SIOM-RC, with copy to
Pune University)
Evaluation Criteria displayed by PUMBA (for Research Centre PUMBA):
The candidates will be evaluated on the basis of their performance in the interview, on the following parameters:
1. Preparedness of the candidate for research work to be undertaken.
2. Communication skill of the candidate.
23

3. Depth of understanding of the subject.
4. Knowledge of the business environment: includes candidate’s awareness about the current trends in respective area.
5. Domain experience related to research area.
6. Candidates are required to bring a two page bio-data.
7. Candidates scoring equal marks in interview will be ranked in merit list based on PG marks
On 22.02.2012 a Meeting of Heads of Departments (HoDs) of all ‘approved’/ ‘affiliated’ Research Centres was chaired by Prof Ashok Joshi
(Respondent No.3) wherein all the HoDs agreed to comply with the above-mentioned 7 Criteria. However, these HoDs grossly violated even
the mandatory Circular No.142/2011 issued by Pune University, in that they conducted the Interviews in March 2012 WITHOUT the two
Nominees of the Vic-Chancellor and the one Nominee of the Chairman of Board of Studies of Pune University -- Results of the said
Interviews were cancelled, and re-Interviews held in June 2012. Moreso, SIOM-RC mala fide did not comply with my email request for a
video-recording of re-Interviews.
A similar comparison with the Candidates selected under the ‘Open’ Category for ‘Human Resource Management’ by other Research Centres
will show that such candidates as are far less qualified than me, were selected solely because they are ‘Maharashtrians’ -- the Public
Information Officer of Pune University has also mala fide suppressed the information on ‘Maharashtrian/ Non-Maharashtrian’ discrimination
in the appointment of Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff in Pune University, when information on this gross discrimination was asked for by
me under the Right to Information Act 2005. Hence, on 22.06.2012 the Petitioner had sent, by Speed-Post, an Appeal to the concerned first
Appellate Authority, viz. Registrar of Pune University.
The aforesaid unconstitutional bias which is palpably evident on the face of the record coupled with unabashed manipulation of the entire
Interview process (Selection process) with a view to fulfill regional bias by a public Authority (funded, through UGC, by Central
Government Funds) against a 1971-War veteran and a Senior Citizen amounts to ‘fractured patriotism’ especially when the Petitioner was
asked to pay not only Rs.800.00 as Admission Fees but twice made to come all the way from Lucknow to Pune (after incurring huge expenses
of more than Rs.6000/- on travel, boarding & lodging for the Interviews held in March 2012, and more than Rs.3,000 for the re-Interviews
24

that were held in June 2012) -- moreso, after more than 26 hours’ journey, I had to go directly from the Railway Station (Pune) to the
Interview Panel WITHOUT the SIOM-RC having provided to me with any facilities, despite my email, even to freshen up.
It is pertinent to mention that, despite Petitioner’s email, the re-Interviews were not videographed by SIOM-RC with a view to mischievously
deny to the Hon’ble Courts any objective evidence as basis on which the Interview Panel prepared a Merit-List at all, and to hide the pre-
conspired mala fide motives of the Interview Panel by intending to concertedly make false statements with a view to mislead the Hon’ble
Apex Court with unabashed criminal impunity -- even an ex-Vice-Chancellor (namely, Prof SC Gupte) of Pune University has obtained a
personal out-of-turn BSNL Landline telephone connection by falsely declaring that he is a Medical Practitioner (i.e. under the ‘Doctors’
Category).
To make matters worse, SIOM-RC and Pune University all along knew of their mala fide intention to reject the Petitioner purely on the basis
of his being a Non-Maharashtrian -- although while fighting the war in 1971 it never even crossed Petitioner’s mind as to whether he was
fighting for India as a whole or for each State (including Maharashtra) separately, and these two public Authorities played a criminal
mischief upon the humble Petitioner by mala fide causing to the Petitioner the aforesaid huge financial loss of more than Rs.10,000/-.
It is very unfortunate that this is happening when the concerned HoD [Dr (Capt) CM Chitale] is an ex-Armed Forces Officer and the real
controller of SIOM -RC is our ex-Defence Minister Shri Sharad Pawar whose Late spiritual Guru (Peer sahib Asghar Seth Poonawala) was
Petitioner’s friend.
Hence, a thorough probe by CBI into the Ph.D. Admission Process in the Department of Management (Pune University) during 2011-12 and a
thorough Audit by the CAG into the misuse of UGC’s Grants of about Rs.9 crore for funding Teachers’ Projects in Pune University, are
called for. A Criminal Writ Petition is, therefore, being filed by name of concerned officials before Hon’ble Supreme Court at the cost, risk
and expense of Respondents concerned, with a specific Prayer to the Hon’ble Court that damages and costs, as and when awarded by the
Hon’ble Court, be deducted from the Pay & Allowances/ Pension of the guilty officials.
