State Of Rajasthan & Anr vs Kulwant Kaur

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the termination of a Grade-III teacher's services under the Rajasthan Panchayat Samiti & Zila Parishad Act, 1959, and the Rajasthan Panchayat Samitis & Zila Parishad Service Rules, 1959. The Court held that the National Training Certificate (NTC) in Tailoring does not equate to the Basic School Training Certificate (BSTC) required for the post of Primary School Teacher, establishing that only those with BSTC or equivalent qualifications recognized by the State Government are eligible. The Court upheld the termination order, reinforcing the necessity of proper qualifications for teaching positions.
