respondent-University is not recognized, therefore,

the B.A. Additional Course conducted by the

University is held to be equivalent to the eligibility

condition mentioned in Schedule-1 of the Rules of

2008 and, therefore, the certificates/vacational B.A.

Additional Course possessed by the petitioners are

held to be validas per the Rules of 2008. Thus, the

promotions granted to the petitioners on the post of

Senior Teacher is just, proper and correct as they

are holding the requisite qualification for the post.

13. Accordingly, the writ petition merit acceptance

and the same is allowed. The order dated

14.04.2025 is quashed and set aside. The

petitioners’ qualification of B.A. Additional Course

cannot be held to be a certificate vacation course

only.”

4. Having gone through the facts of the present case and the

facts mentioned in the covered order, it appears that the facts are

one and the same to the effect that whether the degree or

certificate of the B.A. Additional Course undertaken by the

petitioner from the concerned University can be treated to be

equivalent, required for promotion. Therefore, the instant writ
