(Oral) The petitioner has passed B.Sc with the following subjects: 1. Mathematics. 2. Physics. 3. Geology. 2. For the purpose of selection and appointment to the post of TGT (Non-medical), the prescribed qualification at the relevant time and as of now is B.Sc with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. It is seen that there is a State Level Equivalence Committee constituted in the State to consider whether a particular subject combination is equivalent to the 2 prescribed qualification. According to the petitioner his subject of Geology is coming under the Space Science. 3. In academic matters, it may not be proper for the Court to substitute its own views on these aspects and such matters should be left to the academic bodies. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the State Level Equivalence Committee to consider the subject combination, namely, Physics, Geology and Mathematics as to whether the same is the equivalent qualification for the post of TGT (Non- medical) and a decision in this regard shall be taken within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment by the petitioner before the Chairman- Convener of the State Level Equivalence Committee. 2.
