Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the directions of the Calcutta High Court regarding the appointment of Assistant Teachers in primary schools, emphasizing that at least 50% of normal vacancies must be filled by trained candidates, while the remaining 50% could include untrained candidates based on rational principles. The Court reiterated the illegality of appointing untrained candidates and mandated adherence to the rules for teacher selection. The judgment reinforced the necessity of following established educational qualifications for appointments, thereby ensuring compliance with the law.
