the petitioner submitted her application for appointment to the post of Head Mistress, is dated 7.12.2006. The experience has, thus, to be counted till the last date of submission of the application, which has been mentioned as 6.1.2007. The above position clearly indicates that the petitioner acquired her B.Ed. qualification in September, 2000 and the cut off date for considering the eligibility was 6.1.2007 and therefore, the petitioner does not fulfil the requirement of the experience on the post of Master, which is of 8 years. The teaching experience that too on the post of Master can only be calculated from the date when the petitioner acquired the basic qualification for being appointed on the post of Master i.e. B.Ed. Any experience gained prior to the acquisition of the essential qualification of B.Ed. for being appointed to the post of Master, cannot be taken into consideration. Further the period from 1.4.2001 to 17.2.2005 where the petitioner worked as lecturer in Shri Brahamrishi Vidya Mandir after acquiring the qualification of B.Ed., can also be not taken into consideration for calculating the experience as the same is not on the post of Master. Assuming this period is also counted towards experience then, also since the petitioner has acquired her B.Ed. qualification in September, 2000 and the cut off date for consideration for eligibility is 6.1.2007, the petitioner does not fulfil the required experience. The counsel for the petitioner has relied upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Anil Kumar Gupta and others v.
