New Delhi
HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar said on Tuesday that the government will file a review petition in the Supreme Court after its Special Leave Petition on faculty reservation mechanism for universities was rejected by the apex court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement comes in the wake of protests by teachers and students bodies after the SLP seeking restoration of earlier mechanism of faculty reservation, which is calculating total posts institution-wise rather than department-wise, was dismissed by the apex court last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will file a review petition soon and we will put our point strongly. We are confident there will be justice and reservation will continue as per the earlier system. The government will ensure that reservation for SC\/ST\/OBC is not hampered,\u201d Javadekar added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Modi government filed an SLP against it and it was argued well but the Supreme Court did not accept the SLP,\u201d he said.The University Grants Commission had issued a communication to all universities and higher education institutions to \u201cpostpone the recruitment process\u201d till the Supreme Court issued its verdict on the SLP and that decision has not been withdrawn yet, the minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delhi University Teachers\u2019 Association president Rajib Ray said the government should instead bring a legislation in the Budget Session of Parliament. \u201cWe want that a Bill be brought in the current Budget Session and the review petition will only kill time,\u201d DUTA president Rajib Ray said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
