Advocate General for the respondents. The petitioner has assailed the action of the respondents whereby his candidature was not sponsored for the post of Hindi Teacher (LT). The petitioner has acquired Prabhakar, Master of Arts (M.A.) and Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) qualifications. The minimum qualification prescribed for filling up the post of Hindi Teacher (LT) as per the Recruitment and Promotion Rules framed under Article 309 of the Constitution of India reads thus: “(a) For Hindi Teachers:- Prabhakar (Honours in Hindi) with Matric (full) and L.T. Training or J.B.T. (two years training) from a recognized University/Institution.” A bare perusal of the Recruitment and Promotion Rules reveal/depict that the petitioner is not possessing the essential qualification. Accordingly, there is no merit in the petition and the same is dismissed. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), 6.5.2009 Judge. *Awasthi*
