1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5498/2007 Hanumana Ram v. State of Rajasthan & Anr. Date of Order :: 13 th May, 2008 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. Rajesh Panwar for the petitioner. Mr. Shyam Toshniwal] Mr. Tarun Joshi ] for the respondents. .... The candidature of the petitioner was rejected by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission for the purpose of appointment to the post of Teacher Gr.III under the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996. As per the petitioner though he is having a qualification i.e. Equivalent to B.S.T.C., consideration for appointment is denied to him. The petitioner is having certificate in teaching from “Sena Shiksha Core Prashikshan College, Panchmadi (M.P.)”, that he obtained by undergoing a course of four months. As per Rule 266 of the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules the eligibility for appointment as primary and upper primary school teacher is as follows:- “Primary : (i)Senior Secondary School certificate or Intermediate or its equivalent, and 2 (ii)Diploma or certificate in basic teachers training of a duration of not less than two years, or Bachelor of Elementary Education (B.El.Ed.) Upper Primary – (i)Senior Secondary School certificate or intermediate or its equivalent, and (ii)Diploma or certificate in elementary teachers training of a duration of not less than two years.” The petitioner is admittedly not having a certificate in basic teachers training of a duration of two years or above. As such in view of the eligibility prescribed under Rule 266 of the Rules of 1996, the petitioner lack eligibility and, therefore, the Commission rightly rejected his candidature from consideration for appointment to the post of Teacher Gr.III. The petition for writ, therefore, is having no merit and as such is dismissed. ( GOVIND MATHUR ),J. kkm/ps.
