Petitioners have prayed for a 2 direction to the respondent authorities to consider their certificate of BTC granted by Gandhi Hindi Vidhyapith, Prayag, Allahabad, U.P. for their appointment as Trained Panchayat Teacher/Block Teacher. The B.T.C. certificate granted by Gandhi Hindi Vidhyapith, Prayag, Allabhabd has been held not as equivalent certificate needed for appointment of teaching in Elementary School. The Division Bench in LPA No. 387 of 2009 has decided that B.T.C. certificate is neither a recognized degree nor an equivalent degree for the purposes of appointment as trained Assistant Teacher. Considering the fact that issue has already been settled by the Division Bench, this application is dismissed. (Mridula Mishra,J.) A.kumar
