ANITA DEVI Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Petitioners in this writ application have prayed for issuance of a writ commanding upon the respondents, particularly respondent No. 2 to immediately and forthwith issue Admit Cards to the petitioners for appearing in the examination to be held on 10th August, 2008 for the post of Primary Teacher in the State of Jharkhand.

(2.) THE petitioners' case is that they had submitted their application in response to the advertisement annexing all the requisite documents pertaining to their academic qualifications. Petitioners had also submitted their teachers' training certificates issued by the Teachers' Training College of India at Gaya, which is an institution recognized by the National Council for Teacher Education, Government of India. The respondents rejected her application on the ground that the certificate which she had produced, is of Nursery Teachers' Training and the same is not a competent certificate and qualification for the purpose of eligibility.

(3.) LEARNED Counsel further submits that as many as two other candidates who had produced similar Certificates, have been granted admit cards and they have been allowed to appear at the examination and the petitioners have been unduly discriminated.
