THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION SAHARSA ----------- 4 23.8.2010 The petitioners, in all these four writ petitions , have a common grievance. Their grievance is that they are not being called for counseling in respect of their applications for appointment of Panchayat Teachers ostensibly on the ground that Baby Teachers Training Certificates, which they possess, are granted by Gandhi Hindi Vidyapith ,Prayag, Allahabad, which is not a recognized institution . Petitioners rely on a judgment of Justice Mirdula Mishra in a batch of writ petitions, which was delivered on 24.11.2009. In the counter affidavit he has annexed the judgment of the learned Single Judge in a batch of the writ petitions being CWJC No.11563 of 2009 and analogous cases dated 24.11.2009 in which she has dismissed all the writ petitions holding that Baby Teachers Certificate granted by Gandhi Hindi Vidyapith, Prayag, Allahabad are not valid and cannot be taken into account. The reason why the change was in the judgment was that the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in LPA No. 387 of 2009 dated 17.4.2009, which was not brought to the notice of the learned Judge on the earlier occasion. In the said - 4 - judgment the Division Bench has clearly held that whether the certificate was obtained prior to 1995 or thereafter makes little difference because it is not that all certificates granted by such institution automatically got reorganization. It was clearly held that Baby Teachers Training Certificate from these institutions is not equivalent certificate needed for appointment for teaching in elementary school. In view of the aforesaid judgment of the Division Bench, I am left with no option but to dismiss all the writ petitions. singh (Navaniti Prasad Singh,J)
