HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1138 OF 2004 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as a Trained Graduate Teacher on 16-08-1986 in the Andhra Pradesh Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutional Society, the respondent herein. He states that over the period, he was allotted classes, which was otherwise to be taken by the Post Graduate Teachers. On this basis, he pleads that he is entitled to be treated as Post Graduate Teacher and thereby, entitled to be promoted as Principal with effect from 16-10-1992 with all consequential benefits. He seeks direction to the respondents to consider his case for promotion to the post of Principal without insisting for Post Graduate qualifications. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the leaned counsel for the respondent. 3. On the face of it, the writ petition is frivolous. It is just unimaginable as to how a Teacher, who does not hold the Post Graduate qualification can insist that he be treated as a Post Graduate Teacher and thereafter be promoted to the post of Principal. It is not in dispute that it is only the Post Graduate qualification holder that can be eligible for promotion to the post of Principal. If the petitioner was not able to study the Post Graduation course, even while in service, he has to curse himself and cannot find fault with the respondents. 4. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J December 23, 2010. KTL
