IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11835 of 2009 BAIKUNTH SINGH & ORS . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2 13.11.2009 Heard Counsel for the petitioners and the counsel appearing for the State. Petitioners have prayed for issuance of a direction to the respondents to consider their certificates of Baby Teachers Training certificate awarded by Gandhi Hindi Vidyapith, Prayag, Allahabad for appointment on the post of Panchayat Teachers. Petitioners’ case is that they have completed their Baby Teachers Training certificate prior to coming into force of the NCTE Act, as such their certificates of training should be deemed to have been issued from a recognized institution. It has also been submitted that several writ applications have been decided by this Court, where a direction has been issued that if a Baby Teachers training certificate issued prior to 1995, it should be recognized as valid teachers’ training for appointment as trained panchayat teachers. The judgment passed by the Single Judge was considered by the Division Bench in LPA No. 387 of 1989 and it has been held that the qualification of Baby Teachers Training Certificate 2 examination is not a recognized qualification prescribed by the employer and the certificate cannot be a equivalent certificate for two years Teachers training. Since the issue has already been decided by the Division Bench I find no merit in this application. It is dismissed accordingly. (Mridula Mishra,J.) A.kumar
