Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of Government Orders regarding the selection of candidates for Assistant Teacher training under the U.P. Basic Education Board, emphasizing compliance with Article 45 of the Constitution of India. The Court upheld the Government's decision to provide special training to B.Ed/L.T. qualified candidates to address the teacher shortage, affirming that such candidates would be treated equally with BTC-trained teachers for appointment purposes. The Court dismissed the appeals against the High Court's judgment, thereby validating the Government Orders in question.
