U
I need advice regarding my eligibility for a teaching post and whether I should pursue a court case to claim the position. Here’s my situation:
1. Background:
I applied for a teaching post where the notification mentioned that only candidates with a B.Ed. in Special Education are eligible.
However, I knew the qualifications mentioned in the notification were incomplete because, based on past vacancies, candidates with a graduation + special diploma (recognized by the Rehabilitation Council of India, RCI) were also eligible.
The RCI is the only body authorized to decide eligibility criteria for such posts, not the government.
2. My Qualifications at the Time:
I had a special diploma and was pursuing my graduation. However, my graduation was incomplete at the time of application.
Despite this, I filled out the form, sat for the exam, and scored more than 20 marks above the cutoff (in the 2x result list).
3. Current Scenario:
I did not attend document verification because I had not completed my graduation by the last date of application, as per the notification’s criteria. , also government was only allowing special bed candidates
Meanwhile, the government sought clarification from the RCI regarding qualifications, and the RCI confirmed that diploma holders (like me) are also valid for the post.
And after 6-8 months due to some answers get changed, 2x result was canceled, and a new, fresh result was released today. My roll number is still in this list.
4. Dilemma:
The notification clearly stated that all qualifications must be completed by the last date of application, which I did not meet.
However, I believe I am eligible for the post based on RCI’s clarification and past precedence.
I desperately need this job, and I worked incredibly hard for it.
Questions:
Do I have a strong case if I file a court petition?
What legal arguments can I make to strengthen my case?
Are there any past judgments or legal principles that could support my claim?
I understand my chances might be slim, but I want to explore all possible options. Your guidance would mean a lot to me.
Thank you!

VHi, lawyer from delhi here!
I have expertise in service matters and by the facts at hand your chances are 30% yes and 70% no. But a closer look at the notification and other rules and notifications of the department might give us something.
I have a feeling as you are among the meritorious one, you should take one chance if filing an OA with the CAT and see if it works out. If you need help or guidance or wish to discuss, feel free to reach out.
