2.3 Aggrieved by such an inaction on the part of the respondents, the applicants have approached this Tribunal in the present Original Application seeking the following relief(s):-

―(a) Hold and declare that the respondents have wrongly withheld the appointments of the applicants to the post of TGT (Computer Science) (Post Code 192/14) and

(b) Direct the respondents to further consider and allow the applicants to join the post of TGT (Computer Science) (Post Code 192/14) for which the offer(s) of appointment have already been issued to them

9.31 It is also not disputed by the respondents in their counter affidavit, where it has been contended that:

(i) while offer of appointment have been issued, the candidature of the applicants is still being decided by the Competent Authority.

(ii) The applicants have not made it clear that in which clause of qualification of the RRs of TGT-Computer Science, they possesses the requisite qualification.

(iii) Applicants are not having exact qualification clearly prescribed in the RRs of the TGT-Computer Science.

(b) The minimum qualification norms referred to in this notification apply to teachers of Languages, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, etc. In respect of teachers for Physical Education, the minimum qualification norms for Physical Education teachers referred to in NCTE Regulation dated 3rd November, 2001 (as amended from time to time) shall be applicable. For teachers of Art Education, Craft Education, Home Science, Work Education, etc. the existing eligibility norms prescribed by the State Governments and other school managements shall be applicable till such time the NCTE lays down the minimum qualifications in respect of such teachers. 9.37 In this background, the job profile of TGT Computer Science has to be seen which is very also relevant for the said purpose. The TGT has to teach the students primarily for class VI to X. 9.38 As already highlighted above, the qualifications of teaching staff are also clearly mentioned in Appendix-VII of bye-laws of CBSE, 2018. The course to be taught by the TGT Computer Science as per Appendix-VII is at A-5, the qualifications for appointment to the post of Teacher provides as follows:

9.52 We, therefore, hold that respondents were wrong in withholding the appointment/joining even though they had issued offer of appointment to the post of TGT Computer Science.

10. CONCLUSION:

10.1 In view of the above analysis, we allow all the OAs.

The respondents are directed to allow the applicants to join as TGT Computer Science post code 192/14 for which they have already been offered the appointment, if otherwise found eligible, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
