All the petitioners have successfully completed 2-year D.El.Ed (Diploma in Elementary Education) course in terms of the rules and norms of National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). On the basis of such training qualification the petitioners should be given priority over other candidates who do not have such qualification.

By a judgment delivered on 11th December, 2020, a co-ordinate Bench of this Court had set

In view thereof, the present writ petition has become infructuous and the same is, accordingly, dismissed.

There shall, however, be no order as to costs.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties, upon compliance of all requisite formalities.
