?Court No. - 53

Case :- WRIT - A No. - 14427 of 2010

Petitioner :- Ranjeet Singh
Respondent :- State Of U.P. & Others
Petitioner Counsel :- Chandan Sharma,Abhishek Rai,U.N. Sharma
Respondent Counsel :- C.S.C.

Hon'ble Arun Tandon,J.
Affidavit filed by the Director, State Council of Education, Research and Training, U.P. Lucknow dated 16th April, 2010 presents a very sorry State of affairs� in respect of teaching faculty available at various District Institutes of Education and Training specifically the� District Institute of Education and Training at Basti. In paragraph-17 of the affidavit it has been stated that total number of� posts sanctioned for each District Institute of Education and Training is 1 principal, 1 vice-principal, 6 senior lecturers, 17 lecturers, 1 technical assistant, 1 statistical assistant and 1 work experience teacher. The total number of such posts has been disclosed as 70-70-420-1190-70-70-70 respectively, as there are 70 District Institutes of Education and Training through out the State of Uttar. 
Total existing strength of� faculty actually working against these sanctioned posts has been mentioned as 38 against the post of principal, 24 against the post of vice-principal and 59� against the post of senior lecturers, none against all remaining four posts. 
This Court fails to see as to how any training for teaching can be imparted with such low level of actual faculty members� being available at District Institutes of Education and Training. The State has put the norms of National Council for Teachers Education too shame and the National Council for Teachers Education is also� negligent� in� not taking appropriate action against the State Government� in the matter of� non-compliance of the terms for permitting the Basic Teaching Training Certificate Course and Special Basic Teaching Training Certificate Course being undertaken by the State Government in various District Institutes of Education and Training. It appears that the National Council for Teachers Education and the State Government are deficient in discharge of their duties. Instead of ensuring proper training of teacher students, a mockery is being made only for the purposes of awarding Basic Teaching Training Certificates/Special Basic Teaching Training Certificates.
An affidavit was filed again on 28th May, 2010 by the then Director, State Council of Education, Research and Training, U.P. Lucknow and in paragraph-7 it has been stated that a decision has been taken by the State Government under the chairmanship of the Secretary, Basic Education, Government of U.P. at Lucknow on 11th May, 2010 to issue orders for inviting teacher trainers by the State Council of Education, Research and Training, U.P. Lucknow on contractual basis. The� issuance of the Government Order is under process. What has happened thereafter is not known, but the training at various District Institutes of Education and Training continues uninterrupted. 
If the facts noticed above are correct, this� Court has no hesitation to record that the State Government has become the worst polluter of the system of education in the State of Uttar Pradesh and the National Council for Teachers Education has become a mute spectator. 
The Secretary, Basic Education, U.P. Government at Lucknow shall appear before this Court on 31st August, 2012 along with his personal affidavit disclosing the action taken and the total number of contract appointees� actually appointed at various District Institutes of Education and Training till date in terms of the decision of the State Government on 11th may, 2010. 
This Court may record that if the requisite number of teachers educated are not appointed in District Institutes of Education and Training in terms of the Regulations of National Council for Teachers Education, this Court will have no other option but to stop teaching at all District Institutes of Education and Training till such requisite number of teaching faculties are actually provided
List this matter on 31st August, 2012. 
Sri Rajeev Joshi, learned counsel for the National Council for Teachers Education is directed to appear before this Court on the next date. Learned counsel for the petitioner may serve a copy of this order upon Sri Rajeev Joshi.

(Arun Tandon, J.)
