JUSTICE AJAY RASTOGI Mr. R.A. Verma, for petitioners Mr. J.K. Agrawal, Addl. Govt. Counsel, for State *** Instant petition has been filed by petitioners who are physically handicapped seeking their consideration for appointment for the post of Primary/Upper Primary School Teacher advertised by the Commission in pursuance of advertisement [Ann.1]. Applications were invited by the eligible applicants for the post of Primary/Upper Primary School Teacher under Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996 in pursuance of advertisement issued by the Commission and the last date of submission of application form was 16th October, 2006. Further corrigendum was issued by the Commission on 30th November, 2006 whereby it was notified that in pursuance of notification issued by the Government dt.29th November, 2006 such like CW 4038/07 [2] applicants who are appearing/ appeared in B.Ed. / BSTC /DSE /B.Ed.[Special Education] Examination, shall also be considered to be eligible. However, they have to submit their mark sheets of qualifying examination before the date of declaration of result by the RPSC. Result of written examination was declared on 16th March, 2007. Undisputedly, even in April, 2007 petitioners could not qualify B.Ed. Examination which is one of the academic qualification requisite for the post of Upper Primary School Teacher under Rules, 1996 as evident from document Ann.3 placed by the petitioners on record. Counsel for petitioners has placed reliance on the notification issued by the Government dt.1st August, 2005 granting relaxation to disabled persons to qualify the training/experience within two years of their final selection/appointment. Counsel for respondents has brought to the notice of this court the judgment of Co-ordinate Bench in Bhanwarlal Jat & Anr. Vs. State & Ors. decided at the Main Seat, Jodhpur on 4th December, CW 4038/07 [3] 2007 holding that B.Ed. is one of the basic academic qualification for the post of Upper Primary School Teacher and notification issued by the respondents dt.1st August, 2005 granting relaxation has no application and it has been finally observed that BSTC/B.Ed. being academic qualification, applicants who have participated in pursuance of advertisement, are supposed to qualify before the date of declaration of written examination. Taking note of the judgment [supra], bunch of writ petitions (CW No.308/07 & 31 others, Suresh Kumar Vs. State & Ors.) were also dismissed by this court at Jaipur Bench on 16th January, 2008. In the light of judgment [supra], there is no merit in the instant petition, the same stands dismissed. [AJAY RASTOGI], J. FRBOHRA4038CW07 22-10.doc
