THE SUB-DIVISIONAL EDUCATION OFFICER SAHARSA ----------- 2/ 13/08/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The claim in this case is for a direction to the State to recognize the B.Ed. (Library Science Degree) of the petitioner from the Nav Bharat Shiksha Parishad Rourkela, Orissa and to consider them for appointment on that basis for the post of secondary teacher. Issues of qualifications for a post are for the employer to decide including issues of equivalence of qualifications as held in AIR 2002 SC 2642 (State of Rajasthan and others v. Lata Arun) at paragraph 12 as follows:- “12. From the ratio of the decision noted above it is clear that the prescribed eligibility - 2 - qualification for admission to a course or for recruitment to or promotion in service are matters to be considered by the appropriate authority. It is not for Courts to decide whether a particular educational qualification should or should not be accepted as equivalent to the qualification prescribed by the authority.” In that view of the matter, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners propose to represent before the State Authorities. If such a representation is filed, this Court expects the same to be considered expeditiously. The application is disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
