The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 18.2.2010 passed by the District Teacher Employment Appellate Authority by which the application of the petitioner has been rejected. The petitioner was appointed as Panchayat Shiksha Mitra and had joined on the said post on 5.1.2004. However, his contract was not renewed as in the same year the State Government enhanced the qualification for Shiksha Mitra from Matriculation to Intermediate, which higher qualification the petitioner did not possess. Subsequently the petitioner acquired 2 Intermediate qualification in the year 2008 and, accordingly, approached the District Teacher Employment Appellate Authority but his appeal has been rejected by the impugned order dated 18.2.2010. So far as the reemployment of a Shiksha Mitra who has acquired Intermediate qualification subsequently is concerned, the same is covered by the Circular dated 4.7.2008 issued by the State Government on the basis of order passed by a Division Bench of this Court under which it is provided that if a Shiksha Mitra acquires Intermediate qualification within 33 months from the original appointment then he would be reinstated in service as a Panchayat Teacher. The case of the petitioner does not come within the time frame laid down by the said Government Circular. Hence, no order could have been passed in his favour. In view of the aforesaid factual and legal position, this Court does not see any reason to interfere with the impugned order of the Appellate Authority. The writ application is, accordingly, dismissed. (Ramesh Kumar Datta,J.) Spal/
