Antim Kumari v. State of Haryana and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Primary teacher recruitment required HTET/STET qualification. The court rejected eligibility based solely on CTET and claims by candidates acquiring JBT/ETT diplomas after the cut-off. Petitions by otherwise eligible candidates who later passed HTET were disposed of as infructuous following the State's concession to consider appointments.
What did the court decide?
Government permitted to consider appointments of otherwise eligible candidates who passed HTET in 2013, subject to its stated merit and verification conditions.
