MP court allows higher secondary teachers in BRCC exam
The Madhya Pradesh High Court in Jabalpur has issued an interim order allowing higher secondary teachers appointed on higher post charge to sit for the BRCC (Block Resource Coordinator) exam. The relief, granted during a hearing before Justice Vivek Kumar Singh, is currently limited to the petitioners.
The court directed that notices be sent to the respondents by registered post within seven working days of the deposit of process fees, and set a four-week period for their return. Advocate VDS Chauhan appeared for the petitioners, while government advocate KS Baghel represented the state government.
The dispute arose after instructions for the recruitment process excluded teachers holding higher post charge from applying. The court's order gives the petitioner teachers the opportunity to take the exam, but it is not a general permission for all such teachers or a final decision in the case.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The interim order opens the BRCC exam to a specific group of higher secondary teachers who were barred from applying. The court's relief is expressly limited to petitioners, so teachers in the same position who have not approached the court remain excluded, and some are reportedly preparing to file petitions. The state government now faces notice and must respond within four weeks, after which the court will hear the matter. The core eligibility question, whether higher post charge teachers qualify for BRCC posts, remains unresolved until the final hearing. Teachers outside this petition will have to seek their own relief if they want similar access.
The next step is the court's hearing after the notice period ends, where the eligibility rule itself will be tested against the state's recruitment instructions.
