WP(C).No.17828 OF 2012(C)
-2-
JUDGMENT
Dated this the 14th day of January 2021
The petitioner, who claims to be a public
spirited teacher, has approached this Court
impugning Clause 12 of Ext.P1, which mandates
that Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) shall be
made mandatory for the appointments of all
teachers in Lower Primary, Upper Primary and
High Schools. He asserts that this stipulation
in Ext.P1 is contrary to the provisions of the
Kerala Education Act and Rules and, therefore,
prays that same be set aside.
2. Even when I hear Sri.E.Narayanan,
learned counsel for the petitioner, on the afore
lines, the fact remains that the petitioner does
not show anywhere that he is personally affected
by Ext.P1, but he seems to be expousing the
cause of all teachers, though none of them are
on the party array.
WP(C).No.17828 OF 2012(C)
That apart, I notice that this writ
petition was filed as early as in the year 2012
but no orders have been secured by the
petitioner until now. I am, therefore, of the
firm view that the prayers sought for cannot be
granted at this distance of time.
In the afore circumstances, I close this
writ petition without issuing any further
orders, however, giving liberty to the
petitioner to approach this Court again, if, for
any reason, he is affected by Ext.P1 in future
or if he can show that he is so affected.
