28.09.2022 Heard Mr. Mateen Siddiqui, Mr. Ghanshyam Kashyap, Mr. C.
Jayant K. Rao and Mr. Harish Khuntiya, learned counsel for the
respective appellants in all the writ appeals, which arise from the
common order dated 23.08.2022 passed in Writ Petition (S)
No.5051 of 2021 and batch.
The pivotal question arising in this batch of writ appeals is
whether the Chhattisgarh School Shiksha Seva (Shaikshik Avam
Prashasnik Sanvarg) Bharti Tatha Padonnati Niyam, 2019, for
short, Niyam of 2019, so far as it relates to providing minimum
qualification to the post of Assistant Teacher, is contrary to the
notification dated 29.07.2011 issued by the National Council for
Technical Education.
It is the contention of Mr. Siddiqui and other learned counsel
appearing for the appellants that candidates belonging to the
2
SC/ST/OBC/PH are entitled to relaxation up to 5% in the qualifying
marks under the notification dated 29.07.2011, but provision of
relaxation is absent in Niyam of 2019.
The same is rebutted by Mr. Jitendra Pali, learned Deputy
Advocate General, appearing for the respondents submitting that
relaxation that is provided in the notification dated 29.07.2011 is in
relation to training and not for recruitment.
Mr. Siddiqui, in support of his contention, relies on a judgment
of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Vikas Sankhala and
Others v. Vikas Kumar Agarwal and Others, reported in (2017) 1
SCC 350.
It is submitted by Mr. Siddiqui that in all the cases he is
appearing, interim order was passed reserving post for the
petitioners in their respective category.
Mr. Rao fairly submits that while no interim order was passed
in his cases, the cases were fixed for final disposal.
Considering the matter in its entirety, the Registry is directed
to list these cases on 13.10.2022, on which date the prayer for
interim order will be considered in detail.
Till then, however, for the ends of justice, it is considered
appropriate to provide that in case vacancies are still available,
one post for each of the appellants shall be kept reserved in their
respective category. Ordered accordingly.
