Counsel for the State is present. Counter affidavit has also been filed on behalf of District Superintendent of Education, Jehanabad, Respondent No. 5. Petitioner’s prayer is for quashing of letter dated 29.12.2008 contained in Memo No. 2323 issued by the District Education Officer –cum- District Programme Co-ordinator, Jehnabad, Respondent No. 6, whereby a direction has been issued to the Block Education Extension Officer, Jehanabad to delete the 2 name of the such applicants from the merit list, who have completed their teachers training course from Central Board of Higher Education. Petitioner’s case is that he had applied for the post of Panchayat teacher, his name was also included in the panel, but all of a sudden the D.S.E., Jehanabad issued letter dated 29.12.2008 bearing letter No. 2323 annexing the list of institutions, whose certificates are suspicious not recognized for the purposes of appointment. Petitioner has obtained his B.ed. degree from Central Board of Higher Education, which is also included in the list of unrecognized/fake institutions. In the counter affidavit, D.S.E., Jehanabad has stated that it is not a fact that the letter dated 29.12.2008 was issued in hurry rather after much verification of the records the institution in the light of inspection by the Director, Secondary Education, Human Resources Development Department this letter was issued on 29.12.2008. The certificate of Central Board of Higher Education was sent for enquiry through Special Messenger. The Central 3 Board of Secondary Education (C.B.S.E.) sent letter dated 23.4.2004 informing that the institution is a fake institution and its’ degree is also not recognized. Authorities participating in the selection process of Panchayat Teachers/Block Teachers Appointment were also intimated that the claim of Central Board of Higher Education degree holder for appointment is not needed to be considered. Central Board of Higher Education is not a recognized institution, the degree/certificates is not equivalent with B.ed. course. I do not find any merit in this application, it is dismissed.
