REKHA DEVI Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS writ petition has been filed against the impugned circular of the Director of Education (Basic), U. P., dated 17.1.96 Annexure-7 to the writ petition.

(2.) A large number of writ petitions have been filed on the same point and this judgment will cover all these petitions of similar nature whether they are listed today or not. I have heard Sri Ashok Khare for the petitioners and Sri K. S. Shukla for the Basic Shiksha Parishad.

(3.) THE State Government by Government Order dated 6.9.94, true copy of which is Annexure-2 to the writ petition, directed that such untrained teachers may be permitted to join the two years B.T.C. correspondence course and after they pass, they can be given the trained teacher's grade. This Government Order was followed by an other Government Order dated 21.10.94 which repeats the same direction. However, subsequently by a circular of the Director of Education (Basic) U. P., dated 17.1.96, true copy of which is Annexure-7 to the writ petition, it was directed that this benefit will be given only to the untrained teachers in institutions directly run by the Basic Shiksha Parishad.
