Single Bench:Hon'ble Shri Sanjay S. Agrawal, J Order On Board 22.10.2021

1. The writ petition has been filed questioning the order dated 16.08.2021 (Annexure P-1) by which the petitioner has been declared ineligible for further participating in the recruitment process for appointment to the Post of Teacher. Vide the impugned order, the petitioner has been declared ineligible on the ground that he has cleared C-TET i.e., Central Teacher Eligibility Test after the results of the recruitment process were published on 21th November, 2019.

2. This Court in an identical set of facts has already in WPS No.4864 of 2021 dismissed the writ petition on the ground that once when the

department clearly specifies that the candidates must have all the eligibility requisite criteria on or before the date of the results of the said recruitment process are published, the candidate who acquires essential qualification thereafter would not be eligible. In the instant case, the petitioner has cleared his C-TET exam on 27.12.2019. This, prima facie establishes the fact that the petitioner had not cleared CTET exam and did not have the essential qualification before the said cut off date.

3. In view of the fact that this Court has already dismissed a few writ petitions on identical set of facts, this Court does not find any strong case made out by the petitioner herein also calling for an interference with the impugned order passed on 16.08.2021 (Annexure P-1).

4. The petition is accordingly dismissed, at admission stage itself. Sd/- (Sanjay S. Agrawal) JUDGE vivek
