With CWJC No.1408 of 2009 VIBHA KUMARI & ORS. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. With CWJC No.1468 of 2009 RAJEEV KRISHNA SINGH & ORS. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. ----------- 03/ 27.06.2011 Heard counsel for the petitioners and counsel appearing for the State. Counter affidavit has been filed by the State. Petitioners have applied for the appointment as trained Panchayat teacher in pursuance to Advertisement No. 3148 dated 28.8.2008. Their grievance is that ignoring their training certificate their names was not included in the merit list of the trained teachers. Petitioners have obtained Baby Teachers Training degree from Gandhi Hindi Vidyapith, Prayag, Uttar Pradesh. On the basis of this training degree they are claiming themselves to be a 2 trained candidate and fit for being appointed as trained teacher. The Baby Teachers Training degree from Gandhi Hindi Vidyapith, Prayag, Uttar Pradesh is not considered to be a valid and recognized degree for the appointment to the post of Panchayat teacher. This issue has been settled by the order passed in L.P.A. No. 387 of 2009 where it has been held that the certificate issued by Gandhi Hindi Vidyapith, Prayag, Uttar Pradesh is not a certificate issued by a recognized institution. The qualification of Baby Teachers Training is not equivalent to B.ed. degree, as such persons with such training certificate cannot claim their appointment as trained teacher. The petitioners on the basis of Baby Teachers Training Certificate could not have claimed their entitlement for being appointed as trained teacher. Writ applications are dismissed.
