Rajasthan HCCW/6802/2012
Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The Court held that B.Ed. holders without the prescribed qualifications for Level-I teaching posts are ineligible for appointment, as B.Ed. is not a higher qualification than TTC for primary posts. The Court refused to relax statutory recruitment criteria or extend the eligibility cut-off date of 1.1.2012 because the validity of the relevant Rules and notifications was not challenged, leaving the judiciary unable to issue directions contrary to the Act.
What did the court decide?
All writ petitions were dismissed. Stay applications stood dismissed. No relaxation in recruitment criteria was granted. Petitioners were directed to challenge the validity of Rules if desired.
