.....
Order No.07 Dated  16 th July, 2014
This  Letters  Patent  Appeal  is  preferred  against  the  order  dated  12.11.2013 passed in W.P.(S) No.7680 of 2012, whereby the writ petition of  the  appellant,  seeking  for  direction  for  appointment as Para  Teacher  was dismissed.
2. The  case  of  the  appellant  is  that  the  appellant  had  applied  for selection  on  the  post  of  Para  Teacher  in  the  Upgraded  Primary  School,  Benagoria on 28.2.2012 along with all cer
tificates. Pursuant to the letter no.188   dated   22.2.2012   issued   by   the   District   Superintendent   of Education, Jamtara, a General Body meeting (AAM  SABHA)
was held on 29.2.2012   under   the   Chairmanship   of   Shri   Kalipada   Hembrom   for selection of Para Teacher in Upgraded Primary School, Benagoria. For the post of Para Teacher, total nine applicants had applied and out of which the appellant was selected and recommended. Initially one Kumari Mithu Rani  Mandal  was to  be selected  but  due  to  her  unwillingness  for  being
appointed as Para Teacher, the appellant was selected. When the Village Education   Committee   recommended   the   name   of   the   appellant   for approval  on  1.8.2012,  the  appellant’s  name  was  not  approved  by  the Block  Education  Committee.  The  appellant also
made  representation before the Deputy Commissioner, Jamtara requesting for his selection for
the  post  of  Para  Teacher.  When  no  action  was  taken,  the  appellant  filed W.P.(S) No. 7680 of 2012 for his appointment to the post of Para Teacher.
During  the  pendency  of  the  writ  petition,  the  Deputy  Commissioner, Jamtara  vide  order  dated  6.9.2012  rejected  the  representation  of  the appellant,  on  the  ground  that  there  was  over
-writing  on  the  proceeding register of Village Education Committee and also in view of the fact that
the  procedure  for  appointment  of  Para  Teacher  has  been  changed.
This  fact  was  brought  on  record  by  way  of  filing  one I.A.  and  also  challenged the  order  dated  06.09.2012.
The  writ  petition was  finally dismissed on 12.11.2013 observing that the documents relied upon by the appellant is doubtful.  It  was  further  observed  that  for  appointment  as  Para  Teacher,
there is requirement for passing Teacher Eligibility Test, which obviously the appellant has not passed.
3.Being aggrieved by the dismissal of the writ petition, the appellant has filed this Letters Patent Appeal.
The learned counsel for the appellant submitted  that  the  learned  Single  Judge  failed  to  appreciate  that  the selection of the appellant on the post of Para Teacher was made by duly
constituted   Village   Education   Committee   in   its   meeting   held   on 29.02.2012 and the said meeting was held in a transparent manner. It is further   submitted   that   in   the   said   meeting   of   Village   Education Committee  one  lady  candidate  Kumari  Mithu  Rani  Mandal  and  the
appellant was  finally  selected  and  only  due  to  the  unwillingness  of  the lady candidate Kumari Mithu Rani Mandal, the name of the appellant was finally  recommended.  The  learned  counsel  further  submitted  that  the appellant possesses higher educational qualification of M.A./M.Sc., B.Ed.
and  on  that  basis  his  name  was  recommended  by  the  Village  Education Committee  and  while  so  the  learned  Single  ought  to  have  quashed  the order  dated  06.09.2012
passed  by  the  Deputy  Commissioner,  Jamtara rejecting the representation of the appellant.
4 The   learned   counsel   for   the   respondent -State   of   Jharkhand   has  submitted that even though the Village Education Committee was alleged to  have  recommended the name of the appellant on 29.02.2012, the same was forwarded by the Village Education Committee only on 01.08.2012 which was received in the office of the Block Education Committee only on 02.08.2012.
It is further  submitted  that  in  the  meanwhile  the  Ministry  of  Human Resource   Development   Department   of   School   Education   and   Literacy, Government of India has issued a letter contained in D.O.No. 3- 3/2012 EE - 4  dated  07.05.2012  making  it  clear  that  only  those  persons  who  passed  the  Teacher  Eligibility  Test  may  be  appointed  as  teachers  for  Class  I  to  VIII including  contractual/para  teachers.  It  was  submitted  that  pursuant  to the
said  notification,  the  Human  Resource  Development  Department,  State  of Jharkhand  has  also  issued  letter  No.JEPC/SSA/12/102/2010/1253  dated  25.06.2012 making it crystal clear that the selection of Para Teacher shall be pursuant to provisions of R.T.E. Act, 2009 and the applicant for
Para Teacher must have passed Teacher Eligibility Test. It is further submitted that since
the recommendation of the appellant was forwarded for approval to the Block Education Committee, Nala only on 02 .08.2012 and the appellant having not  passed  Teacher  Eligibility  Test
,  the  selection  of  the  appellant  was  not approved and the learned Single Judge rightly dismissed the writ petition.
5 . Even  though  the  Village  Education  Committee  has  recommended  the  name of the appellant on 29.02.2012, the same was forwarded for approval to  Block  Education  Committee  only  on  01.08.2012.  In  the  meanwhile,  the Ministry  of  Human  Resource  Development  Department  of  School  Education  and Literacy, Government of India vide letter contained in D.O. No.3
-3/2012 - EE - 4 dated 07.05.2012 made it clear that recruitment of teachers including
contractual/para teachers, who have not qualified the TET would violate the provisions  under  the  Right  of  Children  of  Free  and  Compulsory  Education (RTE)  Act,  2009.  It  was  also  clarified  that  it  is a binding  and  mandatory  requirement  under the RTE Act  that  only  those  persons  who  pass  the  TET may be appointed as teachers for Classes I to VIII. It was also mentioned in
the  said  letter  that  every  State  is  statutorily  required  to  comply  with  this requirement
and violation  of it  may not stand the test of law. It also appears that  in furtherance  of  the  direction  of  Government  of  India,  the  Principal  Secretary,  Human  Resources  Development  Department
- cum - State  Project  Director,  Jharkhand  State  Education  Project  Council,  Ranchi  issued  letter
No.JEPC/SSA/12/102/2010/1253  dated  25.06.2012  making  it  clear  that  selection  of
Para  Teacher  shall  be  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  RTE  Act,  2009  and  the  applicant  must
have  passed  Teacher  Eligibility  Test .  Even  though the appellant is said to have higher qualification, since the appellant  has   not   passed   the   Teacher   Eligibility   Test, which   is   the   mandatory  requirement,  the  recommendation  of  the  Village  Education  Committee  was
not  approved  by  the  Block  Education  Committee.  In  view  of  the  mandatory  requirement of passing TET as per the notification issued by the Ministry of  Human Resource Development Department of School Education and Literacy,  Government of India (07.05.2012) and the subsequent notification issued by  the  State  of  Jharkhand  (25.06.2012),  the  appellant  cannot  seek  for  a
direction  upon  the  respondents  to  consider  him  for  appointment  as  para teacher.
6 .We do not find any  reason warranting interference in the  order of the learned  Single  Judge  and  this  Letters  Patent  Appeal  is  dismissed.
If  the  appellant has subsequently qualified in Teacher Eligibility Test, the appellant  is  at  liberty  to  participate  in  the  subsequent  selection,  if  any,  either  as  a regular teacher or Para Teacher.
