Not all ReTs/RReTs should be subjected to screening test: HC 2/11/2016 11:14:27 PM Early Times Report srinagar, Feb 11: Observing that government was duty bound to conduct the survey for tracing out those having degrees like a candidate who had failed last year to write an essay on cow before it, the state high court today directed government not to subject all ReT/RReTs to screening test in the first place. "The respondents shall subject only such type of ReTs/RReTs to the screening test who constitute a class with the person whose capability was tested by the court (last year)," said a single bench of the court comprising Justice M H Attar said, referring to an applicant ReT teachers' post who had failed to write an essay on the cow before the court in May last year. Subsequently, the court had directed the Commissioner Secretary Education to constitute a committee to look into the hazards, which, such type of decrees must have caused to the society. "The Committee shall be responsible to find out all such degrees certificates issued in favour of such candidates, who stand selected as ReT teachers and ask this class of teachers to sit in a screening test to ascertain as to whether they are in a position to teach the students," the court had said, adding that all those ReT teachers, who fail in such screening test, shall be terminated from their services after following principles of natural justice. Conversely, the education government issued an order No. 631-Edu of 2015 on 23-12-2015 by virtue of which all the ReT/RReTs were asked to write the examination. "The Government was duty bound to conduct the survey for tracing out the degrees of the like nature which came under the cloud (on 14 May 2015). After finding such type of degrees, it was this class of the ReTs which was to be subjected to screening test for testing their teaching capabilities," the court said, adding, "In turn, the respondent-government has passed the order (No. 631-Edu of 2015). Even before passing the impugned order, prima facie, it appears that no survey has been conducted about the teaching capabilities of ReTs/RReTs," the court said and directed that the ReT/RRETs who have obtained degrees through distance mode from the regularised or reputed institutions may not in the first instance be subject to the screening test. "The government shall have to conduct through survey in respect of this class of people also but they cannot be clubbed with the persons whose reference has been made in the order dated 14 May 2015," the court added.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
