Telangana private colleges begin classes despite holiday order

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Despite clear orders from the government, the corporate and private government is continuing to be arbitrary, as a result of which the students are facing difficulties. The Telangana Board of Intermediate Education has declared summer vacations for junior colleges till June 1, but many private and corporate colleges are organizing classes despite the holidays.
These colleges have started classes a week after the end of the inter examinations and students are being put to attend. Almost all corporate colleges in the city started classes for second year students claiming that classes are being organized for better results so that students can prepare better for the second year.
These colleges are also conducting classes for competitive examinations. Parents of the students have complained that the children were being forced to attend second-year classes and the purpose of holding classes during the summer holidays is to prevent students from approaching other colleges. It was decided to retain the first-year students in the second year.

Many of the lecturers are engaged in examination paper evaluation, but despite this, classes are being organized.
No action has been taken against any college by the board so far, which has boosted the morale of the management. According to the board of intermediate’s academic calendar, the first and second year education will start on June 1. Junior college’s summer vacations started on April 1 and will continue till May 31. Post that, the Dasara holidays would be between October 19 and October 25.
The board has planned 227 working days and 77 vacation/off days. Junior colleges were mandated to have at least 220 working days in the next academic year.
Half-yearly examinations would be a month later in November from 20 to 25 and the Sankranti holidays between January 13, 2024, and January 16.
The officials further clarified that advanced supplementary for this year would be held in the last week of May.

National Doctors Decry ‘Unjust Selection Order’ For Registrars And Faculty

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir Health and Medical Education Department Civil Secretariat has issued a new government order on the selection criteria for engagement of faculty and other positions in all government medical colleges and government dental colleges of J&K. The new criteria have been formulated by a committee of principals from all government medical and dental colleges and have been accepted by the administrative department.
The new selection criteria, issued under Government Order No.282-JK (HME) of 2023, dated April 4, 2023, are applicable for engagement on faculty posts, including Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor/Lecturers, and Registrars/Demonstrators/ Tutors in all Government Medical Colleges and Government Dental Colleges of J&K.
The assessment criteria for selection for the post of Professor have been divided into three categories. The first category includes academic qualifications, with 50 points allotted on a pro-rata basis concerning marks in MBBS/BDS. The second category covers special attributes, such as teaching experience as Professor/Associate Professor in government-recognized institutions. The weightage for teaching experience will be calculated at one point for every completed quarter year beyond the basis of eligible teaching experience. The third category relates to research publications, with at least four publications required, including two as Associate Professors.
However, the new government order has received criticism from doctors from national medical colleges across India. In response to the order, doctors have demanded an unambiguous equivalence to the scoring system to equate the marks or percentage of MBBS, or the implementation of a true competitive examination in the form of MCQs, to be put in place for these posts.
“The Criteria of including MBBS Marks on the selection of Registrar & Consultants is highly impractical. This undermines all the extra qualifications & research work by Doctors applying for the job,” stated the FAIMA Doctors Association.
The spokesperson for Resident Doctors Association GMC Srinagar has released a statement calling for the government of the union territory of J&K and its policy-making bodies to reconsider the decision and revoke the unjust order.
The doctors have expressed concern that subjecting marks percentages from different evaluation systems to compete under a single umbrella will create an unjust and unethical platform for future recruitments of Registrars, leading to alarming repercussions and sidelining of genuine competitors. “It has been highlighted that there are differences in grading practices between universities and countries, which is the main reason for the discrepancy in MBBS marks.
In light of this, there have been calls for a standardized MCQ paper to be used as the main criteria for selecting candidates for registrarship, medical officer, and other faculty positions,” said a doctor from a national medical college.

The doctors have implored the government to take immediate action to rectify the situation and ensure that future recruitments are based on a fair and just system. It is unfair to rely solely on MBBS marks as the main criteria for selection, given the variability in grading practices. A standardized MCQ paper would be a more objective and fair way to evaluate candidates for these positions.
This new government order has been deemed unjust and discriminatory towards the doctors who have trained at national medical colleges. They have demanded that the government take immediate action to rectify the situation and ensure that future recruitments are based on a fair and just system.

Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah dispute: Mathura court suspends its earlier order, to hear case on April 11

[ad_1]
Mathura: A fast-track court here on Wednesday suspended its earlier order directing for a report from the revenue department on Shahi Masjid Idgah adjoining the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple here and fixed April 11 as the next date of hearing in the case.
“Civil Judge Senior Division of Fast Track Court, Niraj Gaund, has suspended the proceedings regarding sending Amin (a revenue department official) to Shahi Masjid Idgah for carrying out measurements,” District Government Counsel Sanjai Gaur said.
In the suit Bal Krishna and others versus Intezamia Committee and others, the fast-track court had on March 29 ordered for a report by Amin.

After hearing the arguments of defense counsel, the court said it would first hear the petitioner’s counsel who was not present in the court on Wednesday and fixed April 11 as the next date of hearing.
Defense counsel Niraj Sharma presented a ruling of the Allahabad High Court and another ruling of the Supreme Court regarding giving priority for hearing on maintainability of the suit, which the court accepted.
Bal Krishna through Hindu Sena chief Vishnu Gupta and others had filed a suit in the court of Civil Judge Senior Division (III) on December 8 last year for shifting of Shahi Masjid Idgah which they claim has been constructed on a part of 13.37 acre land of Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi Trust.

Gujarat HC’s order on PM Modi’s degree raises more suspicion: Kejriwal

[ad_1]
New Delhi: People, who have the right to know about the academic qualification of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, are “stunned” by the Gujarat High Court’s verdict, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday.
The Gujarat High Court on Friday quashed a seven-year-old order of the Central Information Commission (CIC) which had asked the Gujarat University to provide information on Modi’s degree to Kejriwal.
Allowing the Gujarat University’s appeal against the CIC order, Justice Biren Vaishnav also imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on Kejriwal and asked him to deposit the amount within four weeks to the Gujarat State Legal Services Authority (GSLSA).
“Entire country is stunned by the High Court’s order because there should be a freedom of seeking information and asking questions in a democracy,” Kejriwal said at a press conference here.
“The High court’s order has increased the suspicion over the prime minister’s education,” he charged.
If the prime minister had studied from Gujarat University or Delhi University, they should have been celebrating it, instead they are hiding the information, the Delhi chief minister said.
“If there is a valid degree of Modi, why Gujarat University is not showing it,” he asked.
There can only be two reasons why Gujarat university is not ready to give information on the prime minister’s academic qualification it’s either due to Modi’s arrogance, or, his degree is fake, Kejriwal said.

He, however, went on to add that being illiterate is not “a crime or sin” as there is so much poverty in the country. “Many of us are not in a position to get formal education due to financial conditions in the families.”
Such rank poverty continues to afflict the nation even after 75 years of independence, he added.
Kejriwal pressed on with his question on Modi’s education, saying the question becomes imperative since being the “top manager” of the country, Modi has to take so many important decisions every day, including those pertaining to science and economy.
“If the prime minister is not educated then the officers and various types of people will come and get his signature anywhere, get passed from him anything, like the note ban (demonetisation) due to which the country had to suffer a lot,” he charged.
“If the prime minister modi was educated he would not have implemented the note ban,” the CM added.

Unhappy with Kerala HC order on wild tusker, protesters in Idukki block traffic

[ad_1]
Kochi: Angry protesters, including children and women, from 10 villages in the hilly district of Idukki on Thursday are out on the streets, blocking traffic on the Kochi-Dhanushkodi highway.
This highway passes through Idukki and the protesters are unhappy with the Kerala High Court’s Wednesday decision involving wild tusker ‘Arikomban’ and two other rogue elephants causing destruction to life and properties of people in these affected villages.
The Kerala High Court on Wednesday warned the state of strict action if it found that the area in the Idukki district where these wild tuskers, including ‘Arikomban’, were roaming had been an elephant habitat before the tribals were resettled there.
The division bench, according to the protesters, instead of helping them, called for records and reports on the resettlement of tribal people in the area back in 2000. The court said, “If it was an elephant habitat, you had no business resettling people there and putting them in danger. The court said that resettling people in an elephant habitat was the root of the entire problem.”
“We will examine it. If it was an elephant habitat, then your policymakers went way off the board. If people were resettled there despite being aware of this fact, we will come down heavily on those responsible.
“Errors in history can be corrected later in time. We need to find whether the mistake happened and if yes, correct it,” the bench said, and declined to issue any direction in the interim for capture and captivity of the wild tuskers, including ‘Arikomban’.
The feature of Arikomban (translated in Malayalam as Aari-rice and Komban-tusker) is it attacks ration shops and houses for rice.
The villagers are unhappy with the court decision as it said that it will constitute a five-member committee that would decide whether to capture the wild elephant and turn it into a captive tusker or relocate it to interior areas of the forest.

It further said that till the panel came to a decision by the next week, the tusker was not to be captured and put in captivity, but allowed tranquilising for a limited purpose of radio-collaring it to track its movements.
“We are not going to stop our protests and we will do it, only when some concrete things come out, as we are fed up living in constant fear. Lives are lost and properties are being destroyed,” said a group of angry protesters.
Meanwhile, state Forest Minister A.K. Saseendran said the people have the right to protest as the Court’s directive complicated things.
“The state will go forward exploring all the legal remedies and it will seek legal recourse,” said Saseendran.

CJI intervenes to end month-long protest of MP lawyers against HC order

[ad_1]
Bhopal: The continuous abstention of advocates from all three benches of the Madhya Pradesh High Court to oppose its order for disposing 25 pending cases in three months has hit legal proceedings across the state and promoted Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud to intervene in the matter.
The CJI has taken cognisance of the matter and has called representatives of State Bar Council of Madhya Pradesh for a meeting on March 29.
State Bar Council Chairman Prem Singh Bhadoria, before leaving for New Delhi to meet the CJI, issued a notice appealing to advocates to resume work from Wednesday onward.
“The CJI has taken cognisance of the matter and has called for a discussion on March 29. With the hope of fruitful discussion, the ongoing protest is called off. State Bar Council of Madhya Pradesh appeals to all practicing lawyers to start appearing in the courts from Wednesday onward,” the notice read.
Senior advocate and Bhopal District Bar Association President P.C. Kothari told IANS that a delegation from the State Bar Council has left for New Delhi and representatives of the High Court will also be there in the meeting.
Madhya Pradesh’s Chief Justice R.V. Malimath had issued an order in December last year asking judges to dispose of at least 25 cases pending for years in three months. Demanding withdrawal of the order, lawyers practicing in all district and High Court benches had started abstaining from appearing in the courtrooms.

SC refuses to stay AP HC’s order on Amaravati; setback for YS Jagan’s govt

[ad_1]
In a blow for the YSRCP-led state government in Andhra Pradesh, the Supreme Court has refused to grant the state’s motion to postpone a March last year high court ruling ordering the YSRCP government to construct Amaravati as the state’s capital within six months.
The court will consider the plea, along with other petitions related to the subject on July 11, Justices KM Joseph and BV Nagaratna said.
In the state assembly, chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy declared that he will relocate to Visakhapatnam and work from the coastal city beginning in July.
Justice Joseph will retire on June 16, and the case will be heard by a new bench in July.
After the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh’s bifurcation into Telangana and a new Andhra Pradesh (Seemandhra) in 2014, both were supposed to share Hyderabad as their capital for ten years.
But, then AP chief minister Chandrababu Naidu declared plans to establish a world-class greenfield capital in Amaravati and all the state bureaucracy was moved from Hyderabad to under plan Amaravati. Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the seminal event.
Hundreds of acres of land were purchased, and large plans were put up for the construction of the new capital, despite the fact that funding proved to be a major obstacle.
Later, in May 2019, when YSRCP won the Assembly elections and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy became the chief minister, he alleged that the Naidu-led previous government committed a massive land purchase fraud, abandoned plans for a new capital in Amaravati, and abolished the AP Capital Area Development Authority (AP-CRDA).

Jagan announced decentralisation in new legislation, saying the state will have three capitals: a judicial capital in Kurnool, a legislative capital in Amaravati, and an executive capital in Vizag.
But this resulted in legal complications. In November, the government withdrew its decentralisation bill and cancelled the AP-CRDA.
In March 2022, the Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled in favour of Amaravati farmers, ordering that the capital be erected at Amaravati according to the master plan outlined in the Capital Area Development Authority Act within six months. The state government filed a petition with the Supreme Court.
This was in reaction to various applications filed by farmers challenging the repeal of the CRDA Act, which had been approved by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)’s administration in order to create a magnificent capital at Amaravati, for which they had provided the land.
A high court division bench led by Chief Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra issued its final decision on a slew of petitions contesting the Decentralisation Act and the repeal of the Andhra Pradesh CRDA Act.
The state administration then repealed the AP Decentralisation Act and the CRDA Repeal Act in November.
The case was resumed by the high court when several petitioners stated that there were additional unsolved concerns related to the CRDA legislation, such as the transfer of developer plots to land owners who had handed away their farm lands, development or basic infrastructure, and land mortgaging in banks.

CM Yogi welcomes SC order on holding UP local body polls with OBC quota

[ad_1]
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday welcomed the Supreme Court allowing the State Election Commission to issue a notification regarding the urban local body polls in the state.
In a tweet in Hindi, Adityanath said, “Accepting the report of the OBC Commission by the Honourable Supreme Court, and the orders to conduct the urban local body elections is welcome. The UP government is committed to conduct the urban local body elections in a time-bound manner, while following the rules of reservation in a lawful manner.”
The Supreme Court on Monday paved the way for holding the urban local body polls in Uttar Pradesh as it allowed the State Election Commission to issue a notification in this regard in two days with an OBC quota in terms of a report of the Uttar Pradesh Backward Classes Commission.
A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala said, “This court, in an order dated January 4, 2023, noted that in view of the decisions of this court, the government of Uttar Pradesh issued a notification for setting up the Uttar Pradesh Backward Classes Commission in December 2022. Though the tenure of the commission was six months, it was to complete its task by March 31, 2023.”
It further said, “The solicitor general informs that the report has been submitted on March 9, 2023 to the cabinet. The process of notifying the local body elections is going on and will be done in two days. The plea is disposed of. The direction in this order is not to be used as precedent.”
On January 4, the top court stayed an Allahabad High Court order directing the holding of the urban local body polls without any reservation for the Other Backward Classes (OBCs).
It had also ordered that the panel appointed by the state government to decide on issues related to the grant of the OBC quota for the local body polls will have to conclude its exercise within three months (by March 31), instead of six months as stipulated earlier.
Earlier, the state government had moved the apex court with its appeal against a December 27, 2022 order of the high court, saying the latter cannot quash the draft notification issued on December 5 last year, which provided for reservation of seats in the urban civic body polls for the OBCs, apart from those for the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and women.

The appeal said the OBCs are a constitutionally-protected section and the high court erred in quashing the draft notification. After the high court’s order, the Uttar Pradesh government appointed a five-member commission for going into the entire gamut of issues for providing reservation to the OBCs in the urban local body polls.
The panel was headed by Justice (retired) Ram Avtar Singh. The four other members of the panel were retired Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers Chob Singh Verma and Mahendra Kumar, and former legal advisors to the state government Santosh Kumar Viskarma and Brajesh Kumar Soni.
The Lucknow bench of the high court had ordered that the state government notify the polls “immediately” as the term of several municipalities was going to expire by January 31, while annulling the December 5, 2022 draft notification. The high court had directed the State Election Commission to hold the elections by January 31, after transferring the OBC seats in the draft notification to the general category.
The high court’s order had come on pleas challenging the preparation of the OBC reservation draft without following the “triple test” formula prescribed by the Supreme Court.
The triple test requires setting up a commission to hold a “rigorous empirical inquiry” into the nature of the “backwardness” in the context of the local bodies, specifying the proportion of reservation based on the commission’s recommendations and ensuring that it does not exceed the overall 50-per cent quota limit.
The high court had held that the triple test condition formulated by the Supreme Court 11 years ago was mandatory.
“Until the triple test is completed in all respects by the state government, no reservation for a backward class of citizens shall be provided,” the order had said.
