In Brief
A state challenged the validity of a teacher's qualification—a certificate from Sister Nivedita College, Kolkata issued before the National Council for Teacher Education Act, 1993 took effect. The High Court had consistently recognized such pre-Act certificates as valid. The Supreme Court dismissed the review petition, holding that the certificate was a good and valid qualification. No error apparent on the record justified interference under review jurisdiction. The Court reaffirmed that review petitions require demonstration of patent error to succeed.
