RESPONDENTS. ----------- 02/ 28.01.2010 CWJC No. 999 of 2009 & IA No. 209 of 2010 Petitioners have filed this writ application for directing - 2 - the respondents to consider their application for appointment in the second phase appointment process on the post of Panchayat/Block teachers. Petitioners’ grievance is that their names have been excluded from the final merit list for the reason that they have obtained Baby Teachers Training Certificate from the Gandhi Hindi Vidyapith, Prayag, Uttar Pradesh (Hindi Vishwavidyalay). Interlocutory application has been filed by the petitioners for passing similar order in their case as has been passed in C.W.J.C. No. 8186 of 2009. The writ application as well as interlocutory application is being disposed off, considering the order passed by the Division Bench in L.P.A. No. 387 of 2009. The Division Bench has recorded a finding that Baby Teachers Certificate is not an equivalent and recognized training degree for appointment on the post of teacher in Primary and Middle Schools. Adverse finding has already been recorded by the L.P.A. Bench, relating to the equivalence as well as recognition of the Baby Teachers Training Certificate, as such the prayer of the petitioners cannot be allowed. This writ application is dismissed.
