Learned single Bench by judgment dated 8.5.2018 passed in the case of Prabhat Kumar Verma and others (Supra) directed the appointing authority to ensure that before appointment letters are issued to the candidates, he/she must have passed Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) after completing training course or such persons were in the final year of their training examination. A person, who does not come in either of the two categories, would not be issued any appointment order. The State Government is further directed to implement its order dated 15.05.2013 by issuing a circular for its strict compliance by the appointing authority. The appointing authorities are also directed to clearly state such fact in the appointment letter issued to the candidates appointed as Assistant Teachers. Petitioners in the petition for writ aforesaid, were kept at liberty to challenge such specific appointments before the appointing authorities, i.e. the District Basic Education Officer concerned at the first instance, who shall examine such individual grievances on facts after affording opportunity of hearing to the selected candidates. The entire process as stated above, is directed to be concluded within a period of six months from the date of raising the grievance before the appointing authority.
