| BEd cannot be minimum qualification for teachers' recruitment: HC | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, May 5: The J&K High Court declined to provide B.Ed. as a minimum qualification for recruitment of Teachers in the School Education Department.
"I decline the prayer of the petitioners for issuing mandamus to the respondents to appropriately amend the Rules of 2008 as amended vide SRO 290 dated 06th September, 2016 and provide B.Ed. as a minimum qualification for recruitment of Teachers in the School Education Department," said a bench of justice Sanjeev Kumar while deciding a plea challenging the eligibility conditions prescribed in various Notifications issued by the Jammu and Kashmir Service Selection Board with regard to the educational qualification for the post of Teacher in School Education Department.
The petitioners sought directions to make appropriate amendments in the J&K Education (Subordinate) Service Recruitment Rules and incorporate the qualification of B.Ed. for recruitment to the post of Teacher.
"The legislation, which the learned counsel for the petitioners refers to, is the Central legislation which admittedly does not extend to the State of Jammu and Kashmir. That being so, the Government is not bound to follow the same unless it is extended by following proper procedure as envisaged in the Constitution of India," the court said, adding that it was needless to say that it falls within the domain of the employer to provide for requisite qualification to be possessed by its employees. "The law in this regard is well settled and needs no reiteration," the court ruled. |
