SUPREME COURT REBUKED HIGH COURT ON TET METTAR IN ASSAM

ASSAM TET : SUPREME COURT REBUKED HIGH COURT ON TET METTAR IN ASSAM

ASSAM TET  / टीईटी / TET - Teacher Eligibility Test Updates / Teacher Recruitment  /SARKARI NAUKRI NEWS  / SARKARI NAUKRI News
http://assam-tet.blogspot.com/
http://naukri-recruitment-result.blogspot.com/
 
SOME DETAILS IS NOT CLEAR TO ME, BUT I FELT -
CENTRAL GOVT GAVE RELAXATION IN TET QUALIFICATION FOR TEACHERS AS  SHORTAGE OF TET PASS TEACHERS,
, AND ASSAM GOVT. NOT PROPERLY IMPLEMENTED IT.

 CANDIDATES FILED WRIT PETITION IN HIGH COURT,
ASSAM HIGHCOURT REJECTED THEIR PLEA. AND DECLARES ASSAM GOVT TEACHER SELECTION RULES IS NOT AS PER NCTE/CENTRAL GOVT GUIDELINES, DESPITE CENTRAL GOVT ALREADY GAVE RELAXATION FROM TET TO ASSAM.

 MATTER REACHES SUPREME COURT, AND SUPREME COURT FOUND RELEXATION TO TET WAS GRANTED TWO TIMES WHILE AS PER RTE ACT NOTIFICATION SUCH RELAXATION CAN BE GRANTED AS ONE TIME MEASURE.

 SUPREME COURT SAID THAT STATE GOVERNMENT IT SELF CAN'T GRANT RELAXATION.

 HOWEVER SC ALSO FOUND SOME RELAXATION WAS GRANTED ON 26TH AUG 2011, BUT HIGHCOURT TAKE REFERENCE OF SOME OLD JUDGEMENT OF SUPREM COURT, AND THINK IT IS BOUND TO THAT JUDGEMENT.

 SC REBUKED ON THAT MATTER TO HC.

SC SAID :-
High  Court
is not correct for the reason that the  subsequent  notification  has  given
relaxation for appointment of teachers for classes I to  VIII  as  one  time
measure. 
 
The  High
Court has observed that in view of the decision of this Court  in  the  case
of Ranu Hazarika and Others vs. State of Assam and Others in C.A.No.2153  of
2011, disposed of on 28.02.2011 is  bound  by  the  decision  and  therefore
cannot direct relaxation of the qualification in  spite  of  the  subsequent
notification issued by the Central Government. Accordingly, the  Writ  Court
has dismissed the Writ Petitions. 
 
 
This Court has  accepted  the  view  of  the  High  Court  only
because the State Government is  not  competent  to  relax  the  educational
qualification  for  appointment  of  teachers  for  Classes  I  to  VIII  as
prescribed under the provisions of the Act.  


State  Government
did not have the power to relax the qualifications prescribed  by  the  Act,
it had  approached  the  Central  Government.  The  Central  Government  has
favourably dealt  with  the  request  made  by  the  State  Government  and,
accordingly, has issued the notification dated 26.08.2011  thereby  relaxing
the educational qualification as one time measure, i.e. upto 2015.


 


 


 




IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
                        CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION

                      CIVIL APPEAL NO.    1018 OF 2014
               (@ SPECIAL LEAVE PETITION (C) NO.25550 OF 2012)


MD. HABIBULLA & ORS.                      APPELLANTS

                                   VERSUS

STATE OF ASSAM & ORS.                    RESPONDENTS

                                  O R D E R


1.          Leave granted.



2.          This appeal by special leave is directed  against  the  judgment
and order passed by the High Court of Judicature of Gauhati in  Writ  Appeal
No.186 of 2012, dated 29.06.2012. By the impugned judgment  and  order,  the
High Court has upheld the judgment and order passed by  the  learned  Single
Judge in Writ Petition No.6192 of 2011, dated 06.06.2012.

3.          This appeal has a checkered history.  On  an  earlier  occasion,
persons aggrieved by certain directions issued by the High Court in a  batch
of Writ Petitions had approached this  Court  in  Civil  Appeal  No.2153  of
2011, dated 28.02.2011. In the said appeal, they had called in question  the
judgment(s)  and  order(s)  passed  by  the  High  Court  dated  09.04.2009,
22.06.2009, 17.07.2009 and 18.09.2009 respectively, wherein the  High  Court
has  held  that   the   Assam   Elementary   Education 


Provincialization)(Amendment) Rules, 2005 


(for short 'the amendment  Rules,  2005') 


 as  ultra
vires the provisions of the National  Council 


 for  Teacher  Education  Act,
1993 (for short 'the Act') and  the  regulations 


 framed  thereunder.   This
Court, by its judgment and order dated  28.02.2011,  while  concurring  with
the decision of the High Court insofar as the validity or otherwise  of  the
amendment Rules, 2005, had taken exception to the directions issued  by  the
High Court.

4.          The State Government (State of Assam) thereafter had  approached
the  Government  of  India,  Ministry   of   Human   Resources   Development
(Department of School Education and Literacy) by  making  a  representation,
inter alia, bringing to their notice the  practical  difficulties  faced  by
the State in selecting the teachers for classes I to  VIII.   Responding  to
the representation so made by the State Government, the  Central  Government
has issued a notification dated 26.08.2011, in exercise of its powers  under
sub-section (2) of Section 23 of the Act. At this stage,  it  is  useful  to
refer to the relevant clauses in the aforesaid  notification  and  the  same
reads as under:
         "AND WHEREAS,  sub-section  (2)  of  Section  23  of  the  said  Act
         provides that where a State  does  not  have  adequate  institution
         offering courses or training  in  teacher  education,  or  teachers
         possessing minimum qualification laid down under sub-section (1) of
         section 23 of the said Act are not available in sufficient numbers,
         the Central Government may, if it deems necessary by  notification,
         relax the minimum qualifications  required  for  appointment  as  a
         teacher for such period,  not  exceeding  five  years,  as  may  be
         specified in that notification."


Yet another clause under the aforesaid  notification  also  requires  to  be
noticed by us. The same reads as under:

         "NOW THEREFORE, in exercise of the powers conferred by  sub-section
         (2) of section 23 of the Right of Children to Free  and  Compulsory
         Education Act, 2009 (35 of  2009)  the  Central  Government  hereby
         relaxes,  in  respect  of  the  Assam,  the  minimum  qualification
         notified by the National Council for Teacher Education  under  sub-
         section (1) of Section 23 of the said Act vide notification  No.61-
         03/20/2010/NCTE/(N&S), dated  the  25th   August,  2010  (the  said
         notification) in so far  as  they  relate  to  classes  I  to  VIII
         namely."

5.          After promulgation of the aforesaid notification,  some  of  the
aspirants  for  the  post  of   teachers-appellant   herein   had   made   a
representation before the State Government, inter alia, requesting  them  to
continue the recruitment in consonance with the process  initiated  by  them
through their advertisement published in  the  newspapers  dated  14.04.1999
regarding appointment  of  teachers  for  classes  I  to  VIII.  Since  that
representation did not find a favorable answer from  the  State  Government,
the aggrieved persons/teachers had  approached  the  Writ  Court  once  over
again by filing Writ Petition No.6192 of 2011.


6.          The High Court, by its order dated 06.06.2012, has rejected  the
Writ Petition, though the subsequent notification, dated  26.08.2011  issued
by the Central Government was brought to the notice of the Court.  The  High
Court has observed that in view of the decision of this Court  in  the  case
of Ranu Hazarika and Others vs. State of Assam and Others in C.A.No.2153  of
2011, disposed of on 28.02.2011 is  bound  by  the  decision  and  therefore
cannot direct relaxation of the qualification in  spite  of  the  subsequent
notification issued by the Central Government. Accordingly, the  Writ  Court
has dismissed the Writ Petitions.


7.          Aggrieved by the said order of the learned Single Judge  of  the
High Court, some of the petitioners in the Writ  Petition  had  carried  the
matter by way of appeal before a Division Bench of the High Court. The  High
Court has confirmed the view of the learned Single Judge. Aggrieved  by  the
order passed by the High Court the appellants are before us in this appeal.

8.          Shri Jayant Bhushan, learned senior counsel  appearing  for  the
appellants would submit that the High Court was not justified in not  giving
a finding on the  notification  issued  by  the  Central  Government,  dated
26.08.2011.  According to the learned senior counsel, the said  notification
has changed the basis of the judgment of this Court  in  Ranu  Hazarika  and
others case (supra). In aid of  his  submission,  the  learned  counsel  has
taken us through the provisions of sub-Section (2) of Section 23 of the  Act
and also the observations made by this Court in  Ranu  Hazarika  and  others
case (supra).






9.          Per contra, Shri Avijit Roy, learned counsel appearing  for  the
respondent-State of Assam and others, would submit that the High  Court  was
justified in placing reliance on the decision of Ranu  Hazarika  and  others
(supra) of this Court, while rejecting  the  Writ  Petitions  filed  by  the
Appellant- teachers.


10.         Having heard learned counsel for the parties to the lis, we  are
of the view that the High Court is not justified in placing reliance on  the
judgment of this Court in the case  of  Ranu  Hazarika  and  others  (supra)
while rejecting the batch of Writ Petitions that were filed before them.  We
say so for the reason, that, this Court, while upholding  the  view  of  the
High Court, insofar as the vires of the  amended  Rules,  2005  had  further
observed, that, having held that the amended rules  are  not  in  consonance
with the  provisions  of  the  Act,  could  not  have  permitted  the  State
Government  to  proceed  with  the  advertisement  issued  by   them   dated
14.04.1999.  This Court has  accepted  the  view  of  the  High  Court  only
because the State Government is  not  competent  to  relax  the  educational
qualification  for  appointment  of  teachers  for  Classes  I  to  VIII  as
prescribed under the provisions of the Act.  It so happens  in  the  present
case that after pronouncement of the judgment by this  Court,  some  of  the
aspirants to the post of teachers had made a  representation  to  the  State
Government once over inter alia requesting  them  to  relax  the  conditions
prescribed in the advertisement dated 14.04.1999  and,  in  particular,  the
educational qualification prescribed therein.  Since  the  State  Government
did not have the power to relax the qualifications prescribed  by  the  Act,
it had  approached  the  Central  Government.  The  Central  Government  has
favourably dealt  with  the  request  made  by  the  State  Government  and,
accordingly, has issued the notification dated 26.08.2011  thereby  relaxing
the educational qualification as one time measure, i.e. upto 2015.
11.         Since the aforesaid notification  was  not  implemented  by  the
State Government and its authorities, some of the aspirants  had  approached
the Writ Court once over again. It was specifically brought  to  the  notice
of the Writ Court the notification issued by the  Central  Government  dated
26.08.2011. In spite of  the  aforesaid  information,  the  High  Court  has
thought it fit that they are bound by the views expressed by this  Court  in
the case of Ranu Hazarika and others (supra).

12.         In our considered opinion, the view expressed by the High  Court
is not correct for the reason that the  subsequent  notification  has  given
relaxation for appointment of teachers for classes I to  VIII  as  one  time
measure. The High Court ought to  have  looked  into  the  notification  and
expressed its opinion one way or the other on  the  aforesaid  notification.
Without doing so, the High Court has washed its hands  by  merely  observing
that it is bound by the views expressed by this Court.
13.         Judicial discipline requires that the High  Court  is  bound  to
follow the observations and the directions issued by this Court.   It  is  a
settled proposition of law, when the legislature in its  competence  removes
the legal basis on which the judgment is rendered, the  judgment  ceases  to
hold the field.  Judicial discipline and propriety are the  two  significant
facets of administration of justice. Every Court is  obliged  to  adhere  to
these principles to ensure hierarchical  discipline  on  the  one  hand  and
proper  dispensation  of  justice  on  the  other.  Settled  canons  of  law
prescribe adherence to the rule of law with due  regard  to  the  prescribed
procedures. Violation thereof may not always result in invalidation  of  the
judicial action but normally it may cast a shadow of  improper  exercise  of
judicial  discretion.  Where  extraordinary  jurisdiction,  like  the   writ
jurisdiction, is very vast in its scope and magnitude, there  it  imposes  a
greater obligation upon the courts to observe due caution  while  exercising
such powers. This is to ensure that the principles of  natural  justice  are
not violated and there is no occasion of impertinent  exercise  of  judicial
discretion and  therefore  if  a  subsequent  event  takes  place  and  that
subsequent event has rightly changed the  basis  of  the  judgement  and  is
brought to the notice of the court, the court on  the  pretext  of  judicial
discipline cannot overlook the subsequent event and render  a  judgement  in
terms with the earlier judgement.

14.         In view of the above, we are of the considered opinion that  the
High Court was not justified in rejecting the Writ Petition as well  as  the
Writ Appeal. Therefore, we set aside the judgment and order  passed  by  the
High Court in Writ Petition No.6192 of 2011, dated 06.06.2012 and  confirmed
in Writ Appeal No.186 of 2012, dated 29.06.2012 and  remand  the  matter  to
the High Court with a request to consider the  effect  of  the  notification
issued by the Central Government, dated 26.08.2011 in  accordance  with  law
and in accordance with  the  provisions  of  the  Act  as  expeditiously  as
possible, at any rate, within six months' time from today. We fix  the  time
limit only for the  reason  that  the  aspirants  are  teachers  in  primary
schools and  are  waiting  for  their  appointment  from  the  date  of  the
advertisement, i.e. from 14.04.1999.

15.         All other contentions of both the parties are left open.


16.         The Civil Appeal as well as  the  application  for  intervention
are disposed of. No order as to costs.

      Ordered accordingly.

Dispur plea to retain teachers


















Dispur plea to retain teachers


    


 
                A STAFF REPORTER
              


 
                
    
          
           
            
              
              
                
              
              
                
              
                        

Guwahati, May 11:
 The Assam government will move Gauhati High Court to reconsider its 
ruling to sack illegally appointed teachers in the state on 
“humanitarian” grounds. 



Official sources told The Telegraph
 that the high court, in its ruling on Wednesday, termed the Assam 
cabinet’s decision to regularise around 20,000 teachers illegally 
appointed in between 1991 and 1996 as illegal and unconstitutional. 



The cabinet 
decision was taken twice during the erstwhile AGP government as well the
 ruling Congress government regimes in 2000 and 2005 respectively. 
Teachers were appointed for lower primary and middle English schools. 



A single judge 
bench of the high court, comprising Justice Hrishikesh Roy, gave the 
verdict in response to a writ petition filed by Bharat Chandra Sarkar 
from Bongaigaon district and Abdul Kayum from Karimganj district. The 
petitioners had challenged the 2005 cabinet decision.



Education minister
 Himanta Biswa Sarma, while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an
 official function here today, said the government would approach a 
division bench of the high court to reconsider its ruling on 
humanitarian grounds. 



“We have full 
respect for the verdict of the single judge bench. I do not want to 
comment whether the teachers were appointed legally or illegally. Since 
the teachers have already completed several years in service, it will be
 a very difficult and sensitive task for the state government to sack 
them now. Most of the teachers have families with school or 
college-going children. So, the government will appeal to the division 
bench to reconsider the ruling purely on humanitarian grounds,” Sarma 
said.



Sarma said the 
present government was leaving no stone unturned to remove illegal 
practice and corruption in the appointment of teachers. 



He said the 
government has conducted the Teacher Eligibility Test twice to appoint 
teachers for lower, upper primary and high schools in a fair manner. He 
claimed that there is not a single report of unfair practice while 
conducting the TET. Clearing the TET is compulsory for any candidate in 
Assam who aspires to become a teacher. 



The minister said 
the Assam Public Service Commission has published the advertisement to 
fill up the posts of directors of elementary, secondary and higher 
education. 



He expressed ignorance about the alleged corruption that took place in appointment of directors of education earlier. 



There were reports
 that the government had flouted the norms and candidates without having
 the requisite qualifications were appointed for the post of director.

52,722 candidates clear TET in 2012
















52,722 candidates clear TETStaff reporter
 GUWAHATI,
 Jan 25 – A total of 52,722 candidates out of 3,30,927 who appeared in 
the State’s first Teachers’ Eligibility Test (TET) cleared the 
examination the results of which were declared today, the pass 
percentage being 15.93.

In Paper I (LP), 32,212 candidates out of 
2,07,178 were declared qualified (15.54 pc). In the Science (Maths &
 Science) paper of Paper II (UP), 4,372 candidates qualified out of 
21,893, with a pass percentage of 20. The corresponding figure for 
successful candidates in the Arts (Social Studies) paper of Paper II 
stood at 16,138 (15.84 pc) out of 1,01,856. The combined figure of 
qualified candidates in Paper II was 20,510 against a total number of 
1,23,749.

Formally announcing the results at a press conference, 
Education Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that 30,559 posts of LP 
school teachers would be filled up from among the 32,212 qualified 
candidates. “The significance of the results is that some 95 per cent of
 the TET-qualified candidates would be absorbed in the vacancies in the 
LP teachers’ posts,” he said.

Overall, the State requires 90,000 teachers, with another 30,000 vacancies coming up in the next three years. 

Sarma
 revealed that with the Gauhati High Court today granting its permission
 to recruit 12,000 posts of teachers in the first phase, those vacancies
 could be filled up within two months.

“It is a historic occasion,
 as the High Court has lifted its embargo, albeit partially, on 
teachers’ recruitment after ten years. We will appeal again in the High 
Court or in the Supreme Court for opening the recruitment process for 
all the 90,000-odd teachers’ – regular as well as contractual – posts in
 the State,” he said.

The next TET for elementary (LP and UP) is 
scheduled for October 10, while the TET for high school teachers will be
 held in July.

A disturbing development revealed by the TET 
results, Sarma said, was that a good number of candidates – including 
graduates who secured 50 pc marks in Higher Secondary exams – displayed 
extremely poor calibre.

“Many candidates were unable to write the 
spellings of words such as ‘zero’, ‘Assamese’, etc. Similar have been 
cases relating to simple words in Assamese. This is a disturbing sign, 
which shows the falling standards of our education. The fault, however, 
lies not with the students but with the way education has been imparted 
in our schools. Political appointment of undeserving teachers is largely
 responsible for this,” he said, adding that the developments strongly 
warranted a reform in school education.

Among the districts, 
Kamrup (Metro) led the list of successful candidates with a number of 
3,302 (Paper I) and 2,258 (Paper II), followed by Nagaon (2,612 and 
1,398), Jorhat (2,302 and 1,708), (Kamrup (2,543 and 1,281), and 
Sivasagar (2,294 and 1,688).

Almost all the districts showed a 
qualified percentage trend between 10 pc and 20 pc. Only Tinsukia had a 
successful percentage of over 20.

Among the successful candidates 
in Paper I, Barnali Deka (Nalbari), Piklu Acharjee (Mariani) and Ranjit 
Chetry (Bokakhat) shared the first position with 132 marks out of 150 
(88 pc) each. In Paper II (Science), Chandan Das of Margherita (126/150 
marks), and in Paper II (Arts), Chini Changmai (125/150 marks) were the 
toppers.

In Paper I, male candidates (53.3 pc) outscored their 
female counterparts (46.7 pc). In Paper II (Science), males (71 pc) 
again prevailed over females (29 pc), but in Paper II (Arts), females 
(54.3 pc) dominated males (45.71 pc).

The results are also available at the official website of Sarvasiksha Abhijan.

*****************************



Q.What is RTE Act?

Ans : RTE ( Right to Education) Act OR  Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, is Eighty-sixth Amendment) Act, 2002 inserted Article 21-A in the 
Constitution of India to provide free and compulsory education of all 
children in the age group of six to fourteen years as a Fundamental 
Right in such a manner as the State may, by law, determine. The Right of
 Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, which 
represents the consequential legislation envisaged under Article 21-A, 
means that every child has a right to full time elementary education of 
satisfactory and equitable quality in a formal school which satisfies 
certain essential norms and standards.



 Article 21-A and the RTE Act came into effect on 1 April 2010. The title
 of the RTE Act incorporates the words ‘free and compulsory’. ‘Free 
education’ means that no child, other than a child who has been admitted
 by his or her parents to a school which is not supported by the 
appropriate Government, shall be liable to pay any kind of fee or 
charges or expenses which may prevent him or her from pursuing and 
completing elementary education. ‘Compulsory education’ casts an 
obligation on the appropriate Government and local authorities to 
provide and ensure admission, attendance and completion of elementary 
education by all children in the 6-14 age group. With this, India has 
moved forward to a rights based framework that casts a legal obligation 
on the Central and State Governments to implement this fundamental child
 right as enshrined in the Article 21A of the Constitution, in 
accordance with the provisions of the RTE Act.



The RTE Act provides for the:


    

  • 
  Right of children to free and compulsory education till completion of elementary education in a neighbourhood school.
    • 

  • 
  It clarifies that ‘compulsory education’ means obligation of the 
appropriate government to provide free elementary education and ensure 
compulsory admission, attendance and completion of elementary education 
to every child in the six to fourteen age group. ‘Free’ means that no 
child shall be liable to pay any kind of fee or charges or expenses 
which may prevent him or her from pursuing and completing elementary 
education.
    • 

  • 
  It makes provisions for a non-admitted child to be admitted to an age appropriate class.
    • 

  • 
  It specifies the duties and responsibilities of appropriate 
Governments, local authority and parents in providing free and 
compulsory education, and sharing of financial and other 
responsibilities between the Central and State Governments.
    • 

  • 
  It lays down the norms and standards relating inter alia to Pupil 
Teacher Ratios (PTRs), buildings and infrastructure, school-working 
days, teacher-working hours.
    • 

  • 
  It provides for rational deployment of teachers by ensuring that the 
specified pupil teacher ratio is maintained for each school, rather than
 just as an average for the State or District or Block, thus ensuring 
that there is no urban-rural imbalance in teacher postings. It also 
provides for prohibition of deployment of teachers for non-educational 
work, other than decennial census, elections to local authority, state 
legislatures and parliament, and disaster relief.
    • 

  • 
  It provides for appointment of appropriately trained teachers, i.e. 
teachers with the requisite entry and academic qualifications.
    • 

  • 
  It prohibits (a) physical punishment and mental harassment; (b) 
screening procedures for admission of children; (c) capitation fee; (d) 
private tuition by teachers and (e) running of schools without 
recognition,
    • 

  • 
  It provides for development of curriculum in consonance with the 
values enshrined in the Constitution, and which would ensure the 
all-round development of the child, building on the child’s knowledge, 
potentiality and talent and making the child free of fear, trauma and 
anxiety through a system of child friendly and child centred learning.
