HC bars govt from finalizing Rehbar-e-Khel selection? 2/17/2018 10:58:27 PM Early Times Report Srinagar, Feb 17: State High Court has barred government from finalizing selection of Rehbar-e-Khel while as it sought a response within four weeks on a plea contending that 60 points prescribed from the candidates having graduation with B.P ED for the post was contrary to the law. A bench of the court comprising Justice Alok Aradhe passed the directions after hearing counsel for the petitioners who pleaded that since the criteria was arbitrary, it shall be stayed. "I have considered the submission made by the counsel for the petitioners and perused the record. Taking into account the fact that the criteria fixed by the respondents (government), prima-facie appears out prevention of law laid down by the Supreme Court as well as Bench of this Court in the case of Jameel Vs State of JK & Ors, it is directed that till next date of hearing, respondents shall not finalize the process of selection for the post Rehbar-e-Khel," the court said and posted the case from further consideration on March 27. The petitioners have pleaded that the criteria fixed by the government was based on "whims and caprice", contending that sports career of the aspirants has been excluded as no weightage has been given to the players who participated in any National or International game or event. "The exclusion of sports career of the aspirants was obviously based on irrelevant consideration and is contrary to the facts, thus smacking of arbitrariness which is antithetic to the norms of fairness contained in Article 14 and 16 of the constitution." Referring to the qualification prescribed-one year Diploma from National Institute of Sports-they said it was again arbitrary as the diploma from NIS was conducted from outside state and primarily meant for the appointment of the sports coach and has no or little relevance with the object that was sought to be achieved by the implementation of the Rehbar-e-Khel policy. "The inclusion of the criteria is aimed to benefit a group of students who have studied outside the state of Jammu and Kashmir."   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
