| HC reserves judgment on ReTs petition against 'screening test' | | | Srinagar, Feb 5 : A wing of J&K high court today reserved judgment on a petition by filed ReT teachers challenging a government order where under they were asked to sit in screening test. "Why do they shy away in appearing the test? There is not only ReT, (general line) teacher is also mentioned in the court order," a single bench of the court comprising Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar asked counsel for ReTs before reserving the judgment.
"It is first time that the government has done a good job for the interest of society," the court said, observing that the ReT teachers should have voluntarily accepted the screening test.
"How will the government find whether the certificates have been obtained from "tuck shops" or not?" the court said.
Additional Advocate General, Mehfooz Nazki, produced a Supreme Court judgment in support of his contention, stating that a teacher is required to find out whether the teacher has ability to teach the students. The court was hearing petition filed by ReT teachers through their union which submitted that by asking all the ReT teachers to sit in the screening test, was against the court verdict as well as the rules.
As per petitioners (ReTs), they have completed their degrees through regular process and from recognized universities, so the question of intermingling and directing all them (ReTs) to face the screening test is not only contrary to the law but is also to the judgment by court and have sought directions from court to quash the 29 December 2015 order, asking all teachers to sit in a screening test. They said the Commissioner Secretary was directed to constitute a committee of expert members to examine and assess the certificates of ReT/Teachers while engaging them and after scrutiny of the same and was asked to identify the ReT teachers with fake certificates. "The Committee was required to frame a list of all those candidates whose degrees have been found fake and have obtained appointment on the basis of such degrees. Instead, the (commissioner secretary) has directed all the ReTs teachers to appear in the screening test which neither is warranted under law nor was the direction of the High Court," the petitioners had submitted.
They said how only the ReT/Teachers can be subjected to "discrimination" when other teachers appointed through regular process are also producing the degrees obtained from recognized institutes from where the ReTs have obtained their degrees. |
