Appellant Versus State of Haryana and others ... Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present: Mr. R.s.Sanghwan ,Advocate for the appellant 1.To be referred to the Reporter or not ? 2.Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? M.M.KUMAR, J. The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against the judgement dated 18.7.2007 rendered by the learned Single Judge of this Court in CWP No. 12418 of 2001. The learned Single Judge has recorded a categorical finding that the appellant did not possess minimum qualification for appointment to the post of Hindi teacher. It has come on record that as per advertisement Nos. 3/99 dated 14.11.1999, 15.11.1999 as amended on 30.11.1999, the appellant was required to have following qualifications: “i) Matric from Haryana School Education Board or an equivalent qualification recognized by the Haryana School Education Board. ii) Prabhakar/B.A.(Hons.) in Hindi) from a recognized University. Iii) LTG/OT in Hindi conducted by the Haryana Education LPA No. 803 of 2010 (O&M) 2 Department or an equivalent qualification recognized by the Haryana Education Department. Or B.A.(Hons.) in Hindi with OT/ B.Ed with Hindi as teaching subject from a recognized university. iv) knowledge of Hindi upto Matric standard.” It could not be successfully disputed that the petitioner did not answer the aforesaid qualifications. She had the qualification of B.A. with Hindi as an elective subject. However B.A. with Hindi and M.A. (Hindi) is not the requisite qualification for appointment as Hindi teacher as contemplated by advertisement which is in accordance with the School Cadre (Group 'C') Service Rules, 1998. She has, however, the qualification of Hons. in Hindi (Prabhakar) acquired in 1983 (P.6). According to the advertisement apart from Matriculation, the necessary qualification for appointment as Hindi teacher is Prabhakar/ B.A. (Hons) in Hindi. The other qualification at item No. (iii) is LTG/OT in Hindi or in the alternative B.A. (Hons.) in Hindi with OT/ B.Ed with Hindi as teaching subject. The knowledge of Hindi upto matric standard was also required. It is obvious that the petitioner does not fulfill either of the alternative qualification as per serial no. (iii) of the advertisement. After hearing the learned counsel we find that the appellant do not fulfil either of two alternative necessary qualification at item No. (iii) as per advertisement. She does not have the qualification of LTG/OT in Hindi or B.A.(Hons.) in Hindi either with OT or B.Ed. with Hindi, although she is B.Ed. with Hindi without having B.A.(Hons.) in Hindi. In other words, she does not answer any of the two alternative qualifications mentioned at item LPA No. 803 of 2010 (O&M) 3 No. (iii) of the qualifications advertised. The view taken by the learned Single Judge, therefore, does not suffer from any legal infirmity warranting admission of the appeal. Accordingly, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed.
