The Supreme Court affirmed the Patna High Court's directive to resume the recruitment process for primary school teachers in Bihar, quashing the State's advertisement dated 10th December 2003 and the Bihar Elementary Teachers Appointment Rules, 2003. The Court emphasized the need to consider both trained and untrained teachers for recruitment, ensuring compliance with the Bihar Education Code, particularly Chapters 6 and 7. The State of Bihar was directed to implement these orders promptly to address the urgent need for teachers in the interest of basic education.
