2. At this stage, the learned Sr. GA Mr. Gautam, drawn the attention to allow the petitioners to file objection against the interlocutory application filed by the applicants.

4. At the time of hearing, learned counsel Mr. Bhaumik, drawn the attention of the Court that the present petitioners have filed the writ petition before this court for directing the respondents to issue their TET certificates as they could qualify the written examination conducted by TRBT but at the time to scrutiny of documents, the TRBT informed that the TET certificates cannot be issued in their favour on the ground that they have conducted D.El.Ed. from NIOS with a duration of 18(eighteen) months and the D.El.Ed. programme was not concluded within 31.03.2019.

5. It was further submitted by learned counsel Mr. Bhaumik that in spite of specific direction of the Hon’ble Supreme Court the respondent-TRBT is not declaring the TET results of the present petitioners and for such compelling circumstances they have filed the writ petition which is pending for adjudication and by this time TRBT has issued notification on 21.02.2026 for selection to the post of Under Graduate Teachers and Graduate Teachers for Elementary Education Directorate, Education (School) Department of Government of Tripura and if at this stage they are not allowed to apply against the said advertisement for the post of Graduate Teachers and Under Graduate Teachers without the TET certificate, then the very purpose of the IA would be frustrated and also the present petitioners would be deprived from applying for the said posts for which notification has been issued by TRBT.

6. Learned Sr. GA Mr. Gautam, submitted that the case is still pending for adjudication and as such, it would be unwise to issue any appropriate direction.

7. Heard both the sides.
