Respondents. ----------- 2. 22.01.2010 Heard the counsel for the petitioners and the counsel appearing for the state. Petitioners’ prayer is for a direction to the respondents to consider their case for appointment as Panchayat Teachers (Trained) candidates considering their certificates of B.T.C. obtained from Gandhi Hindi Vidyapeeth, Prayag, U.P. The issue relating to Baby Teachers’ Training Certificate from Gandhi Hindi Vidyapeeth, Prayag, U.P. has already been settled and decided by the Division Bench in L.P.A. No. 387 of 2009. It has been held by the Division Bench that Baby Teachers Certificate Training Examination is not the equivalent training 2 qualification for appointment as Panchayat Teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools. It has also been held that it is not a recognized qualification prescribed by the employer, as such, on the basis of such certificates, no appointment can be made in the Primary and Secondary Schools. In the light of decision in L.P.A. No. 387/09, this writ application is dismissed. However, if so advised, the petitioner may apply for appointment as untrained candidate. AKV/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
