Verma, DAG. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The writ petitions have been filed with the following prayers: “(1) That the writ in the nature of certiorari may be issued and the Annexure P-3 may be quashed and set aside being illegal. (ii) That writ in the nature of mandamus may be issued and respondent No.3 may kindly be directed to allow the petitioner to appear in the writ test/personal interview and declare their result as per merit.” 2. The petitioners in these writ petitions are aggrieved since their applications for the post of Language Teachers have been rejected due to the reason that the Institution i.e. Hindi Sahitya Sammelen, Allahabad is not recognized for the Government service by the Himachal Pradesh Government. 2 3. The learned Advocate General submits that the petitioners do not possess the requisite qualification for being appointed as Language teachers. The petitioners have obtained the qualification from Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, Allahabad for appointment of Language Teachers. 4. It is pointed out by the petitioners that though in the R&P Rules, it is now prescribed that the said qualification will not be recognized as qualification for regular appointment, in case of several teachers, appointed on PTA basis, posted on regular vacancies, the Government has given relaxation. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that such relaxation has been given taking note of the fact that there is no Language Teacher course. It is further submitted that the Language Teacher Course is recognized for the purpose of appointment as a Language Teacher. It is further submitted that the certificate issued by Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, Allahabad has been recognized by Himachal Pradesh and the Central Government also for the purpose of Language Teacher. The petitioner seeks an opportunity to approach the Government pointing out all these aspects. Therefore, both the writ petitions are disposed of as follows: 5. The petitioners may make representation either jointly or individually before the first respondent within a period of one month from today along with a copy of this judgment, in which case the matter will be duly considered by the first respondent, adverting to the submissions made therein and 3 appropriate orders in accordance with law and justice will be passed thereon within another three months. 6. The writ petitions are disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Dasti copy. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 7th September, 2010 ( Justice Kuldip Singh), (tr) Judge. 4
