IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12815 of 2009 AVINASH KUMAR & ORS . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2. 17.12.2009 Heard the counsel for the petitioners and the counsel appearing for the state. Petitioners have filed this application for quashing the order contained in Memo No. 201 dated 06.02.2008 (Annexure-1) issued by the District Superintendent of Education, Samastipur whereby all Sub Divisional Officers and District Education Extension Officers have been directed to cancel appointments of such Panchayat Teachers/Prakhand Teachers/Nagar Teachers who were appointed on the basis of their educational certificate issued by any of 21 fake universities for which list has been issued by the University Grant Commission. In the list of fake university, the name of Gandhi Hindi Vidyapeeth, Prayag, Uttar Pradesh is also included. Petitioner Nos. 1 & 3 have obtained their Baby Teachers’ Training course from Gandhi Hindi Vidyapeeth, Prayag and petitioner No. 2 has passed B.Ed. examination from this very institution in May, 1995. So far B.T.C. degree is concerned; it has been decided in L.P.A. No. 387 of 2009 that Baby Teachers’ Training Certificate from Gandhi Hindi Vidyapeeth, Prayag, Uttar Pradesh is not an equivalent certificate needed for appointment for teaching in an elementary school. 2 In this view of the matter, there is no merit in the application filed by these two petitioners, namely, Avinash Kumar and Ambika Gupta, as such, it is dismissed. Petitioner No. 2 Smt. Manjula Kumari claims to have passed B.Ed. examination from Hindi Vidyapeeth. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the state government took decision relating to matters of recognition of this institution in the year, 2008. The petitioner was appointed in the year, 2006. At that time, there was no such order passed by the state government, as such she could not have been terminated on this ground. Without going into the merit of the case of petitioner No. 2, application is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioner for filing an appeal before the District Teachers Employment Appellate Tribunal challenging the order whereby she has been terminated from her service. In case such an appeal is preferred by the petitioner No. 2 within one month from today, it should be decided and considered on merit by the appellate court within the statutory period.
