The present writ petition has been filed by the petitioner against the inaction on the part of the respondents in not considering the petitioner as trained Teacher. ALOK SHARMA Digitally signed by ALOK SHARMA Date: 2025.08.07 11:41:51 +0530 2 2. According to the Counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner is trying to take the benefit which falls from the circular of the State Government dated 22.11.1979 which specifically envisages waving of undergoing the training process for declaring a teacher as a trained teacher in the event if the teacher has completed either 20 years of service or has crossed the age of 50 years. 3. According to the counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner has already completed more than 20 years of service and, in some cases, has also crossed the age of 50 years. Therefore,, in view of the circular of the State Government, the petitioners have become entitled to be declared as trained teachers. 4. At this juncture, the limited prayer that counsel for the petitioner prays for is that he has already represented to the higher authorities in the department and he may further be made to make a fresh representation to the higher authorities supported with all relevant documents and which the Authorities concerned may consider in accordance with rules, regulations and circulars governing the field and in case if the petitioner is found entitled for the benefit, the same be extended at the earliest. 5. 5. The limited prayer sought for by the petitioner is not opposed by the State counsel, except for the fact that contentions raised by the petitioner need to be verified from the service records of the petitioner. 6. Given the said submissions by the counsel for the parties, the writ petition stands disposed of directing respondent no.1 & 2 to take an appropriate decision in case of the petitioner deciding as to whether the petitioner would be entitled for the exemption for being declared as Trained Teachers or not? 3 7. Let an appropriate decision be taken in this regard at the earliest preferably within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 8. The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of. Sd/- (Ravindra Kumar Agrawal) Judge Alok
