Correspondence Course in the year 2007 in pursuance of the Government order dated 27th December, 2004. It has further been prayed that respondents be commanded to take action against respondents No. 6 and 7 as they have deleted the name of the petitioner from the letter dated 24th July, 1995 and inserted the name of Dharmendra Kumar to get training of first year B.T.C. Correspondence Course.
3. The facts of the case, as emerge from pleadings of the parties, are; the petitioner was appointed as untrained teacher on 24th August, 1992 in a primary institution, namely, Bhootpurva Sainik Shree Kalluwala Adarsh Vidya Mandir. The State Government decided to impart training to untrained teachers, who were working in recognised primary/junior high school by giving two years B.T.C. Correspondence Course training. Petitioner’s case is that in pursuance of the Government order dated 6th September, 1994, letter dated 24th July, 1995 was written by the Basic Shiksha Adhikari, Bijnor to the Principal Training School, Nagina, Bijnor to provide training to the petitioner and three other untrained teachers of the institution. Petitioner’s case further is that he could not participate in the B.T.C. Correspondence Course training in the year 1995-96 due to some unavoidable circumstances but name of one Dharmendra Kumar was inserted in the letter dated 24th July, 1995. Petitioner stated that Dharmendra Kumar was not appointed in the institution. He further stated that Dharmendra Kumar was appointed on 25th January, 1996 in the institution and was not eligible for training. The Government withdrew the B.T.C. Correspondence Course and subsequently issued Government order on 27th December, 2004 providing that those candidates whose names were forwarded prior to 18th March, 1996 be imparted B.T.C. Correspondence Course training. Petitioner’s case is that after coming to know about the Government order dated 27th December, 2004 the petitioner submitted an application before the Basic Shiksha Adhikari for being sent for training. Petitioner’s case further is that thereafter the petitioner has sent several applications for being sent for training but when no action was taken, he had no remedy except to approach this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
