Dr. B. S. Chauhan, J.—This Special Appeal has been preferred against the judgment and order

of the learned single Judge dated27.11.2003, by which the writ petition filed by the petitioners had been dismissed by the learned single Judge.

2. Facts and circumstances giving rise to this case are that the petitioner-appellants had obtained a certificate of Prashikshan Praman Patra issued by the Government of Madhya Pradesh as equivalent to Basic Teacher’s Certificate (B.T.C.) conducted by the State of Madhya Pradesh and on that post the petitioners-appellants had sought appointment by submitting their application to the post of Assistant Teachers in primary schools in District Banda, in pursuance of the advertisement dated 12.8.1996, wherein the requisite qualifications had been B.T.C., S.T.C., J.T.C. or T.C.

3. Appellants’ case had been that the certificate possessed by them had not been recognised by the State of Uttar Pradesh equivalent to the either of the said qualifications, thus, this Court should hold that both qualifications are equivalent and issue direction to the State Authorities to recognise the said qualifications equivalent to the requisite qualification
