Justice D Hariparanthaman gave the direction after admitting a petition by All Districts Special B.Ed Graduate Association represented by its state president P Vadivel Murugan.  

The petitioner submitted there were 193 members in the association in different districts and have enrolled themselves before the appropriate District Employment Exchange. After completion of UG or PG degree, they have also completed B.Ed Special Education on the subjects like Mental Retardation, Visually impairment, Hearing Impairment and Orthopaedically impairement, which are regulated by Rehablitation Council of India as well as National Council for Teachers Education.
 
The B.Ed Special Education candidates were alone eligible to be appointed as Teachers for the disabled students as well as normal students as per recent circular by the Union Human resources department circular.
 
"Many of the members are waiting for decades with a legitimate expectation that they would be recruited in regular vacancy.The members are in fact better than regular B.Ed candidates to handle the students. A preference ought to have been given to us but unfortunately it was not done" the petitioner said.
