Apart from that he has also qualified the examination for appointment in English Medium School as provided in circular dated 23.2.2019.
He next submitted that earlier respondent no.5-Tulsi Ram Verma was Headmaster of Lower Primary School and after merger and conversion of the school, he is not qualified to be appointed as teacher as he is not having English subject in Intermediate Examination.
He next submitted that prior to merger, petitioner is working as officiating Principal of the Upper Primary School with effect from 1.7.2013, but after merger, Block Education Officer has passed order dated 22.08.2019 directing the petitioner to hand over the charge to Tulsi Ram Verma-respondent no.5 ignoring this fact that he is not qualified to be appointed even as Teacher of English Medium School. He next submitted that if a person is not having qualification, he cannot be given officiating charge of post, therefore, under such facts and circumstances, order dated 22.8.2019 passed by respondent no.1 is bad in law and liable to be quashed.
