Petitioners have prayed for a direction to the respondents to consider their case for appointment on the post of trained Block teacher. Both the petitioners are Matriculate and have taken training in BTC/JBT course. The issue regarding recognition of BTC degree has already been settled by the Division Bench holding that it is not a degree equivalent to B.Ed. for being appointed as trained teacher in Block/Primary teachers. Considering the fact that petitioners do not possess requisite qualification for being appointed as a 2 trained teacher. I do not find any merit in this application, it is dismissed.
