Yogesh Kumar And Others vs Government Of Ntc Delhi And Others

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision that B.Ed. degree holders are not eligible for recruitment as Assistant Teachers in Primary Schools under the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, as the advertisement did not prescribe B.Ed. as a qualification. The Court emphasized that the qualifications listed in the advertisement must be strictly adhered to, and that B.Ed. is not a higher qualification than the Teacher Training Certificate (TTC) required for primary teachers. The Court affirmed that the long-standing practice of considering B.Ed. holders for recruitment does not alter the explicit terms of the advertisement.
