IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
Special Leave Petition (C) No.28043 of 2013
J U D G M E N T
K. S. RADHAKRISHNAN, J.
1. The petitioner herein has approached the High Court seeking a writ of certiorari to quash the Tamil Nadu Teacher Eligibility Test (TNTET) -2013 Notification/Advertisement No.13/2013 dated 22nd May, 2013 issued by the Teachers Recruitment Board and also sought a direction to the Board to issue fresh notification extending the constitutional benefits of reservation to TNTET by assigning minimum qualifying cut off marks for each communal category, in accordance with the prevailing reservation rule and also for the consequential reliefs.
2. The Madras High Court refused to grant the reliefs prayed for on the ground that the question as to whether relaxation/concessional marks to be granted or not to be granted is a policy matter, to be taken by the State Government and the court sitting under Article 226 of the Constitutional of India cannot give a positive direction to the State so as to reduce the minimum marks to any reserved category.
5. We find it difficult to accede to the request of the counsel. The question as to whether the cut off marks stipulated for the reserved category candidates have to be reduced or not, is entirely a matter for the State Government to decide. The Court exercising writ jurisdiction cannot grant such relaxation/concessional marks, as the same is the decision to be taken by the State Government. Taking into consideration a variety of factors, State/Authorities concerned in their wisdom would fix the cut off
marks and court cannot substitute its views to that of the experts. We, in such circumstances, are not inclined to interfere with these special leave petitions and the same are dismissed.

Connected Miscellaneous Petitions
10. In the instant cases, for conducting the test, two Government Orders came to be passed. A committee was appointed pursuant to the direction issued by this Court, which had gone into the issue. It was decided not to relax the standard from the minimum pass percentage. As rightly stated in the counter affidavit, the qualifying marks for a pass in the Tamil Nadu Teachers Eligibility Test has been fixed as 60% and above and the Teacher Eligibility Test is only a pre-requisite eligibility test for appointment as a Teacher. The qualifying marks are fixed in order to get quality education to teach the Children. The State Government has taken a policy decision not to compromise on the quality of Teachers and decided not to grant relaxation. When such a decision has been taken by the State Government, this Court is not inclined to consider the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners and no such direction can be issued by this Court to the respondents to relax the standard or lower the standard, as contended by the petitioners.
