JUDGEMENT

(1.) We have heard Shri Ashok Khare, Senior Counsel assisted by Shri Vishnu Shanker Gupta for the appellants. Shri Vishnu Pratap appears for the State respondents.

(2.) The appellants in this batch of intra-Court Special Appeals seeking admission to Special B.T.C. Course 2008 are aggrieved with short order passed by learned Single Judge dated 4.7.2012 in Writ Petition No.25714 of 2012 and other writ petitions, by which he has, on an affidavit filed by the Director, S.C.E.R.T. informing the Court that the process of recruitment to Special B.T.C. Course 2008 shall be positively closed on or before 31.7.2012, issued an order directing all the Principals of DIETs, that the result of the counselling, which has been completed, shall be declared on or before 31.7.2012, and thereafter, neither any counselling shall be done nor any admission will be made to Special BTC Course, 2008.

(3.) Shri Ashok Khare, learned counsel appearing for the appellants states that 3877 seats for Special BTC Course 2008, and 2531 seats for general selections to BTC Course 2008, are still lying vacant. All the petitioners-appellants are graduates with B.Ed qualification. They had applied in response to advertisements to fill up 10,084 seats in Special BTC Course 2008; 18301 seats for general selections in BTC Course 2008 and for 8878 seats as balance of the year 2007, totalling 37,263 seats. Out of these, 30855 candidates (15085 for Special BTC 2008 and 15770 for general selection 2008) were selected, of which results were declared for 17,262 seats in Special BTC Course 2008 and 12,995 for general selections in BTC 2008 seats, totalling 30257 seats. In this manner the vacancies on 6408 posts are still lying vacant. He submits that the directions issued by learned Single Judge challenged in these Special Appeals for closing admission process to Special BTC Course 2008, has not only deprived the petitioners of an opportunity of selection for appointment as teachers in Primary Schools in the State of UP, but will also result in wastage of 6408 seats.
