DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION BHAGALPUR 5. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION NAWADA ----------- 02/ 26.02.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioners and counsels appearing for the State. Petitioners’ prayer is for a direction to the respondents to consider them as trained candidate for appointment on the post of Assistant Teachers. Petitioners - 2 - have completed their training of Baby Teachers Training Certificates from Gandhi Hindi Vidyapith, Prayag, Uttar Pradesh. Their claim is that they have completed their training course before coming into force NCTE Act, 1995. The issue relating to the B.T.C. training from an institution like Hindi Vishwavidyalaya, Allahabad or Hindi Vidyapith, Prayag, U.P. and also whether the Baby Teachers Certificate is equivalent course for appointment in Elementary Schools has been considered by Division Bench in L.P.A. No. 387 of 2009, where it has been held that the B.T.C. Training Course is not an equivalent certificate for teachers training considered for appointment on the post of trained teacher in the Middle/Primary Schools. This certificate is not a recognized certificate by the employer as thus on the basis of this certificate one cannot claim appointment as trained teacher in such Schools. Considering the fact that the issue has already been decided by the Division Bench, I do not find any merit in these two applications, as such they are dismissed. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
