STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs KULWANT KAUR

The Supreme Court examined the eligibility criteria for the appointment of Primary School Teachers under the Rajasthan Panchayat Samiti & Zila Parishad Service Rules, 1959, specifically addressing the equivalence of the National Training Certificate (NTC) in Tailoring to the Basic School Training Certificate (BSTC). The Court held that the NTC is not equivalent to the BSTC as the latter encompasses a broader training across various subjects necessary for teaching. Consequently, the termination of the Respondent's services based on the circular was upheld, affirming the requirement of BSTC for the post of Primary School Teacher.
