Accordingly, this Writ Petition is also disposed of in terms of the common judgment in W.P.(C)No. 33078 of 2007 and connected cases . Hence the aforesaid common judgment will form a part of this judgment and shall be appended to this judgment. However, it is made clear that the petitioners have to satisfy the P.S.C. that the B.Ed degree obtained by them is with two optional subjects issued by the Dakshina Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha. K.T.
