The issue pertains to the claim made by the petitioner for appointment as Hindi Teacher. Government has rightly declined the request of the petitioner holding that the claim of a non-teaching staff for appointment as Teacher can be considered only in the absence of Teachers who are otherwise eligible for promotion to such post. Therefore, there is no merit in the writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) ahg.
