The Punjab & Haryana High Court has directed the appointment of a Punjab Government teacher who was rejected on the ground that the essential experience required was gained by him from teaching outside the State. It was stated that a candidate who was qualified for the post of Head Teacher in Punjab was denied appointment because she had obtained the essential experience required for the post from a Haryana Government School. On the other hand, State counsel opposed the petition by stating that the word 'State Government schools' would mean Punjab Government Schools, and it had been decided that the teaching experience acquired from another State was not to be considered for this purpose, and candidates who worked as 'Guest Teacher' were not eligible for recruitment as well.
