IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC NO.13480 OF 2007 AGA IRFAN, S/O LATE ABDUL GAFOOR, R/O MOHALLA MAHNAR, WARD NO. 5, P.S MAHNAR, DISTRICT VAISHALI. …………………PETITIONER. VERSUS 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2.THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION, VAISHALI. ………………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 02/ 24.11.2011 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner in this writ application seeks a direction for payment of salary in the matric trained scale of pay on a plea that when he was appointed as physically trained teacher in a primary School, he was entitled to get such matric trained scale of pay as he had undergone the teachers’s training course of Physical Education. The payment of salary against a particular post is well circumscribed by the requirements laid down for such post. For a matric trained teacher, a person has to be not only matriculate but also must have completed the teacher’s training course as prescribed under the Rules. Admittedly, the petitioner has not undergone such teacher’s training but he 2 had undergone some Physical Education training course. The teacher’s training course and Physical Education course cannot be made equivalent specially when the rules do not permit. This aspect of the matter has been considered at length in the judgment of the Division Bench in the case of Bindeshwari Singh vs The State of Bihar and Ors in L.P.A No. 6985 of 1997 which was dismissed on 26.09.2011 after noticing all the relevant aspects. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
