7. The respondents in the appeal who had filed the writ
petition in the High Court (hereinafter referred to as 'the
petitioners') have obtained NTC from the Industrial Training
Institute. Their case is that they had taken admission in
the NTC course on the basis of the circular dated August 6,
1984 recognising the National Trade Certificate as
equivalent to BSTC. they approached the High Court with the
grievance that in spite of their having obtained the NTC
they are not being appointed on the post of teachers in the
Panchayat Samities and they prayed that the State Government
be directed to treat the NTC obtained by the petitioners as
equivalent to BSTC for the purpose of appointment to the
post of teachers in the primary schools run by the Panchayat
Samities in the State of Rajasthan and for quashing of
orders dated January 7, 1985 and November 6, 1985. The said
writ petition was allowed by a learned Single Judge by his
judgment dated January 12, 1990. The learned Single Judge
held that since recognition had been granted to the NTC
course as equivalent to the BSTC course and persons acting
upon that recognition have taken admission in NTC course
prior to the date of its derecognition, they cannot be
deprived om services and that the Government was estopped on
the basis of the principle of promissory estoppel to the
withdraw the recognition of the NTC. The learned Single
Judge has directed the appellant to treat the NTC obtained
by the petitioners as equivalent to the BSTC for the purpose
of appointment to the post of teachers in the primary
schools run by the Panchayat Samities in Rajasthan. The
learned Single Judge has, in this connection, placed
reliance on the decision of this Court in Suresh Pal v.
State of Haryana'. The special appeal filed by the

Single Judge was dismissed by a Division Bench

Bench of the High Court.
Andhra Kesari Educational Society vs Director Of School Education & Ors on 18 November, 1988
12. In view of the limited recognition that has been
granted to NTCs the holders of NTCs cannot claim appointment
as general teachers and can only be appointed to the post of
craft teachers in the craft for which they hold the NTC.
For teaching subjects other than the craft for which they
hold the NTC the position of the holder of NTC is no
different from that of an untrained teacher. The need for
appointment of properly trained teachers has been emphasised
by this Court in Andhra Kesari Educational Society v.
Director of School Eclucation2 wherein it has been observed:
Ram Sukh And Ors. vs State Of Rajasthan And Ors. on 26 September, 1989
In the context of appointment of primary school
teachers this Court in Ram Sukh v. State of Rajasthan3 has
laid down: (SCC p. 192, paras 6 and 7)
"We are not less sympathetic to the
petitioners who are out of job but we cannot
forget the welfare of those who are not before
the court. They are the tiny tots who require
proper handling by well trained teachers.
The primary school teachers are of utmost
importance in developing a child's personality
in the formative years. It is not just enough
to teach the child alphabets and figures, but
much more is required to understand
