Civil Writ Petition No.1888/2012, Devi Singh & Others Vs. State of Rajasthan & Others are taken into consideration for discussion.

(2.) THE petitioners are possessing qualification of graduation with training course of B.Ed. and they are waiting for appearing in the competitive test for recruitment on the posts of Teacher (Grade-III) since 2006. Now, in the year 2012, advertisements have been issued by the different Zila Parishads of all the districts in the State whereby applications have been invited for appointment on the posts of Teacher Grade-III. THE main prayer is that the respondents may be directed to allow the petitioners to participate in the present selection process of Teacher Grade-III subject to their performance in the RTET- 2012 and, in the alternative, the respondents may be directed to conduct RTET-2012 prior to the recruitment of Teachers Grade- III in the year 2012 under the advertisements dated 24.02.2012 issued by the various Zila Parishads of all the districts of the State. It is also prayed that the advertisements of Teacher Grade-III issued by the respondents may be quashed and set aside or may be stayed till conducting RTET-2012; and, any other relief which may be deemed fit by this Court may be granted.

(3.) THE main contention of the petitioners is that after issuance of the Guidelines on 11.02.2011 in the year 2011, the State Government authorized the Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan, Ajmer to conduct the TET and said test was conducted by the Board on 31.07.2011 and result was declared in the month of August 2011. It is specifically submitted that due to inaction on the part of the State since 2006 to 2011 no appointments are made for the posts of Teacher Grade-III, therefore, all the posts occurred since 2006 remained unfilled. Now, the State Government through the Zila Parishads is going to make recruitment of 40000 posts of Teacher Grade-III and, for the same, advertisements have been issued on 24.02.2012 and to participate in the recruitment of 40000 posts only those candidates are eligible who qualified the TET 2011 examination and none else.
