Order

Application for early listing is allowed.
This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner with the
following prayers;
"It is, therefore, humbly prayed that
your Lordship may graciously be
pleased to accept and allow this writ
petition and by an appropriate writ,
order or direction:-
1. The cancellation of the appointment
of the petitioner under the revised
result may be held to be arbitrary and
illegal and the respondents may kindly
be directed to consider the candidature
of the humble petitioner on the post of
PTI Grade-III and the qualification of
Bachelor of Physical Education i.e. 3
years course may kindly be considered
(2 of 4) [CW-15442/2013]
as sufficient and requisite qualification
for the post of PTI Grade-III and
accordingly the petitioner may kindly be
ordered to be given appointment on the
aforesaid post with all consequential
benefits in the interest of justice.
2. Any other appropriate order, which
may be found just and proper in the
facts and circumstances of the case, be
passed in favour of the petitioner.
3. Cost of the writ petition may also
be awarded in favour of the petitioner."
In pursuance to the advertisement dated 14.12.2011 the
petitioner applied for the post of PTI Grade-III and after
participating in the selection process, the candidature of the
petitioner was rejected by the respondent(s) on the ground that
the petitioner was not having the requisite educational
qualification as mentioned in the advertisement. The educational
qualification prescribed for the post of PTI Grade-III in Clause-
7(2)(1) has been held as under;
"Bachelor of Physical Education (B.P.E.D) or
Certificate in Physical Education (C.P.E.D) or
Diploma in Physical Education (D.P.E.D.)
recognised by the National Council for Teacher
Education (राष्ट्रीय अअधयापक क शपक शिशिका पषा पररपक शिद िशद दरारा
मानयता पारापत पक शिारट्रीषा पररक क शपक शिशिका मि ा में सषातक (बबी पबी एड)
या पक शिारट्रीषा पररक क शपक शिशिका मि पमाण पत्र (सबी.पबी.एड.) या
पक शिारट्रीरक क शपक शिशिका मि डडरापडिप्लोमा (डबी.पबी.एड)"
Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is
having B.P.E qualification which is equivalent to the qualification of
B.P.E.D. as prescribed in the advertisement.
Counsel for the respondent filed reply to the writ petition and
according to Para No. 4 of the reply the petitioner is not having
the requisite educational qualification as prescribed in the
advertisement. Para No.4 of the reply has been reproduced as
under;
"That the contents of Para No. 4 of the writ
petition are regarding possessing of three
(3 of 4) [CW-15442/2013]
years Degree of Bachelor of Physical
Education, the same being factual and matter
of record and subject to verification by the
respondent RPSC, hence, need no comments
by the humble answering respondents at this
stage. However in this regard it is pertinent
to mention here that as per NCTE
Regulations and Rajasthan Education
(Subordinate) Service Rules, 1971 the
degree of B.P.E. (Three Year Degree Course)
is not requisite educational qualification for
recruitment on the post of P.T.I. Gr. II but as
per Rules the requisite educational
qualification is B.P.Ed and for PTI Gr. III
required qualification is B.P.E.d or Certificate
in Physical Education (C.P.Ed) or Diploma in
Physical Education (D.P.Ed) recognized by
NCTE. There is no provision, which make the
B.P.E. as requisite qualification for
recruitment on the post of PTI Gr. III/II.
Counsel for the respondent(s) submits that the qualification
of the petitioner has been considered in view of the notification
issued by the Government of Rajasthan dated 09.12.2011
whereby the qualification for the post has been prescribed as
B.P.E.D/C.P.E.D. and D.P.E.D.
In support of the contention, counsel for the respondent(s)
relied on the judgment passed by the Division Bench of this Court
in the matter of Manoj Kumar Verma Vs. Rajasthan Public
Service Commission (D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) No. 601/2014)
decided on 22.08.2014 wherein Para-18 it has been held as
under;
"In the present case, on the enforcement
of the NCTE Regulations, 2001, prescribing
qualification for teachers including Physical
Education Teachers, the Rules of 1971
framed by the State of Rajasthan were
required to be amended. The Schedule in
the NCTE Regulations, 2001, quoted as
above, does not prescribe B.P.E. as
qualification for PTI Grade-II and Grade-III
for teaching in schools/high schools and
Senior Secondary Schools, where physical
education is an elective subject. For
Secondary/High Schools, Graduates with
(4 of 4) [CW-15442/2013]
Bachelor of Physical Education (B.P.Ed.), or
its equivalent, is the requisite qualification.
The appellant possesses B.P.E., which is a
degree course in Physical Education. He did
not pursue the degree course in Physical
Education (B.P.Ed.) after doing graduation.
He, therefore, does not hold the requisite
qualification for appointment as PTI Grade-
II or even PTI Grade-III. His contention
that he had taken admission in B.P.E.
course in1994 and passed out in 1997,
does not hold him eligible, as he was
seeking recruitment in the schools in
Rajasthan in pursuance of the
advertisement issued, after the NCTE
Regulations, 2001 came into force."
Heard counsel for the parties and perused the record.
This writ petition filed by the petitioner deserves to be
dismissed for the reasons; firstly, the petitioner is not having the
requisite educational qualification as mentioned in the
advertisement for the post in question; secondly, in view of the
judgment passed by the Division Bench of this Court in the matter
of Manoj Kumar Verma (supra), no case is made out for
interference by this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of
India.
In that view of the matter, the present writ petition is
dismissed.
Interim order stands vacated.
