The Prime contention of the Learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the Respondents is that Petitioner had not acquired any higher technical education such as 'Degree or Diploma in Tailoring' more than the essential qualification. However, she had stated that she was working as Special Trainee for Tailoring under the National Child Labour Project from 19.01.2006. She had not produced 'No Objection Certificate' issued by the authorities of National Child Labour Project for attending the interview for appointment of Part Time Instructors in School Education Department. Though she attended the interview before the Selection Committee, she was not considered for appointment by the Committee for the only reason that she has already been serving as Special Trainee in the National Child Labour Project. The list of candidates in Tailoring was displayed in the notice board in the office of Chief Educational Officer, Dharmapuri before appointment orders were issued. There was no violation of appointment procedures made in regard to the appointment of Part Time Instructors. 10.

At this stage, the Learned counsel for the Petitioner informs this Court that the Petitioner would produce the 'No Objection Certificate from the competent authority of National Child Labour Project and when she produces the same, her case for appointment in the School Education Department as Part Time Instructor in Tailoring subject may favourably be considered by the authorities concerned. 13. As far as the present case is concerned, the Petitioner is fully qualified to apply for the post of Sewing (Tailoring) Teacher.
