The issue as with regard to the petitioner being not qualified for the post of Panchayat Teacher in view of his passing of intermediate examination under Vocational Course stands settled by the recent decision of the State Government, wherein, it has been held that like all other Intermediate Courses even Intermediate Vocational Course would qualify for the purpose of appointment on the post of Panchayat Teacher. In that view 2 of the matter, the order of termination of the services of the petitioner only on the ground of lack of qualification of the petitioner must be held to be bad and is accordingly, quashed with a direction to reinstate the petitioner back in service without any back wages but of course with full benefit of continuity of service.
