Union Of India & Anr vs Ravi Shankar & Anr on 24 February, 1998
In the case of Union of India and Anr. v. Ravi Shanker and Anr., (supra), the Apex Court has held that the degree of Vaidya Visharad awarded by Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, cannot be held to be a recognised qualification under the Recruitment Rules. The said decision is of no assistance to the appellants in as much as in the present case, there is no material on record to show as to what was the prescribed qualification for the appointment of Assistant Teacher in Primary School in the year 1973. The respondent No. 1 had been appointed on the said post in the 1973 and she contended to work till 1992 as trained Teacher and the salary in that grade had also been paid, thus, it cannot be said that she did not possess the requisite qualifications.
