Dated this the 6th day of February, 2015.
J U D G M E N T
The petitioners are persons who have completed the Teachers Training Course. Some of them have also acquired B.Ed. The petitioners have approached this Court aggrieved by insistence for passing KTET for the purpose of appointment as teachers.
2. The petitioners claimed that they all acquired TTC or B.Ed before 1-3-2012. Government by G.O.(P) No.70/12/G.Edn dated 1-3-2012 ordered that "TET is mandatory for the appointment of all teachers in Lower Primary, Upper Primary and High Schools. Accordingly all teachers in schools should possess the minimum qualifications including Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) based on the norms and standards laid down by the NCTE. SCERT is the authorized academic authority in the state."
3. It is pointed out by the petitioners that Government by G.O(P) No.244/12/G Edn dated 25-7-2012 ordered that claimants under Rule 51(A) and Rule 51(B) Chapter XIV A KER as on the date of this G.O are WP(C).Nos. 30116 of 2012, 9145 of 2013 25557 of 2013 2 exempted from acquiring K-TET. Government was also pleased to exempt the teachers from acquiring K-TET who are appointed against regular vacancies on or before 31-3-2012.
4. The petitioners case is that they also form part of same class who were given the exemption on account of their claim either on account of their appointment in regular vacancy on or before 31-3-2012 and also on account of their statutory claim under Rule 51(A). It is also submitted that they have acquired qualifications for appointment before 31-3-2012. They should be exempted from acquiring KTET for the purpose of all future vacancies. It is submitted that they have undergone TTC or B.Ed with anticipation of appointment as teachers and the entire exercise made by them to acquire qualification would become futile if they are not exempted from acquiring KTET. It is also submitted that having form part of same category of persons who have not acquired KTET before 31-3-2012, they also need to be considered for future vacancies. Merely for the WP(C).Nos. 30116 of 2012, 9145 of 2013 25557 of 2013 3 reason that they could not obtain appointment as teachers on account of want of opportunities before 31-3-2012, they should not be denied of exemption.
5. In W.P(C) No.9145 of 2013 a counter affidavit has been filed. It is stated therein that by virtue of Section 23 (1) of the Right to Education Act, any persons possessing such minimum qualifications as laid down by academic authority authorized by the Central Government by notification, shall be eligible for appointment as teachers. It is further stated that NCTE is authorized academy and by notification dated 23-8-2010 has already prescribed the qualification for teachers. Thus it is submitted that by above notification passing test is mandatory for appointment as teachers.
6. Apparently, this is essentially a issue relating to the policy taken by the government. Exemption is given to certain class of persons from acquisition of qualification before 31-3-2012. It is for the government to decide whether the petitioners would also fall within the category which have been exempted. This Court cannot WP(C).Nos. 30116 of 2012, 9145 of 2013 25557 of 2013 4 direct the government to exempt the petitioners.
7. Therefore, I am of the view if the petitioners make a detailed representation before the government for exemption on account of the fact that they have acquired qualification before 31-3-2012 , same shall be considered after adverting to the relevant materials placed by the petitioners. Therefore if the petitioners makes representation within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, necessary decisions shall be taken by the government within a period of three months thereafter after giving an opportunity of hearing to any of the representatives chosen by the petitioners.
The writ petitions are disposed of.
