It is the contention of the counsel for the petitioners that petitioners have not qualified the Haryana Teachers Eligibility Test (in short 'HTET') and initially when the advertisement was issued, petitioners were not eligible. However, on issuance of a corrigendum dated 3.7.2012 (Annexure-P-2), para-4 whereof deals with the transitional provision which provides for an exemption that persons fulfilling the condition of qualifications as per the Haryana State Education Lecturer School Cadre (Group 'C') Service Rules,1998 (in short '1998 Rules') shall be eligible for recruitment as one time measure, however, such persons shall have to qualify HTET eligibility test and B.Ed. by 1.4.2015 and in case they fail to do so, their appointments shall terminate automatically. Under this clause, the petitioners contend that their entitlement to be considered for appointment as they fulfil the qualifications as prescribed under the 1998 Rules. Prayer has thus been made for allowing the present writ petition.

"i) M.Sc Physics / Applied Physics / Nuclear Physics / Electronics Physics with at least 50% marks and B.Ed. from a recognized University And
ii) Matric with Hindi/Sanskrit or 10+2/BA/MA with Hindi as one of the subject And
iii) Certificate of having qualified Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) School Teachers Eligibility Test (STET).
iv) Consistent good academic record."
