The only question involved in this petition is identical to the question raised in writ petition No.112 of 2005, Virender Kumar V. Union of India, therefore, a common order is being passed. The petitioner has approached this court to ensure that only qualified teachers impart education to the children. In this connection, it has been submitted that National Council for Teacher Education provides that if a teacher has been appointed without non-professional qualification, he may acquire the same within a period of three years. According to him, the teachers who were appointed in the year 2003, number of them had not acquired said qualification. Learned Additional Advocate General informs this Court that in the light of the notification dated 3rd September, 2001, the State Government has already approached the NCTE to relax the professional qualification. The matter is still in process. In the light of this undertaking the petitioner present in the court shall feel satisfied if the petitions be disposed of with above observations. Accordingly, it is directed that all those teachers who were not qualified at the time of joining shall have the professional qualification, as referred to hereinabove. We further provide that those teachers who have done their JBT from the recognized institution be only appointed to impart teaching in the Government institutions. With these observations and with the consent of the parties, the writ petitions are finally disposed of. (Jagdish Bhalla), Chief Justice. March 26, 2008 (D/Pds). (Surinder Singh), Judge.
