THE DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER, null SAMASHTIPUR 4. THE BLOCK EDUCATIION OFFICR, BLOCK- PETORI, DISTT- SAMASHTIPUR 5. TH DIST. APPOINTMENT APPELLATE AUTHORITY SAMASTIPUR, THROUGH ITS MEMBER ----------- 2 04.02.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the State. Petitioner’s prayer is for quashing of the order dated 4.8.2009 passed by the District Teachers Appointment Appellate Authority, Samastipur. The appeal preferred by the petitioner has been dismissed, affirming the order passed by the Appointment Committee. The Appointment Committee has cancelled the appointment of the petitioner as a trained teacher, for the reason, that his teachers training degree obtained from Nab Bharat Shiksha Parishad, Raurkela, Orissa through Distant Learning Course is not a valid degree. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the matter of recognition of this institution for imparting Teaching Training Degree, through 2 distance learning course is still under consideration before the Council for Distance Learning. This means that till date the petitioner has obtained degree, the Institution concerned was not competent to impart education of any educational qualification through distance learning mode. In this view, the training certificate of the petitioner is not a recognized degree. I do not find any error in the order passed by the appellate authority, for the reason that the petitioner’s appointment has been cancelled on the ground that he has obtained his teachers training degree from an institution which is not competent to impart such education and this degree issued such Institution is not a recognized one. This writ application stands dismissed. (Mridula Mishra,J.) A.kumar
