Mr.B.S. Rana, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana
  ..
A.K. SIKRI, C.J.:
Introductory remarks
1.  The genesis of present dispute, subject matter of these writ
petitions, can be traced to November-2005 when due to shortage of
teachers, the District Education Officers were prompted by the State of
Haryana to fill up the vacancies of Lecturers, Masters and C&V Teachers
by engaging the Guest Faculty Teachers (GFTs) against the sanctioned
posts.  These GFTs were initially engaged on different dates in 2005
and were to continue up to 31.3.2006. However, as would be noted in
detail at the appropriate stage, most of these GFTs continued beyond
that period and are in service even now.  In the interregnum, legal
battles ensued in various forms which were taken up to the Supreme
Court. The outcome of the various cases was that GFTs are not to be
regularized only because of their length of service; no fresh
appointments of GFTs would be made from 1.4.2012 and exercise to
complete the process of regular selection must be completed within the
specified time.
2.  The State of Haryana has now taken steps for filling the posts
of Teachers in various disciplines on regular basis.  Requisition is sent to
the Haryana School Teachers Selection Board (hereinafter to be referred
to as ‘the Selection Board’) for this purpose.  Before doing so, new
statutory Rules, namely, ‘The Haryana State Education School Cadre
(Group-B) Service Rules, 2012 (hereafter to be referred to as ‘Rules of
2012’) have been promulgated.  Before that, the Rules known as ‘The CWP-15929-2012  - 19 -

Haryana State Education Lecturer School Cadre (Group-C) Service
Rules, 1998 (for short, ‘Rules of 1998’) were in vogue.   
3.  From the perusal of Appendix ‘B’ of Rules of 1998, it is
clear that the basic qualification required for the post of Lecturer was
MA in the relevant subject with Matric and a certificate of having
qualified the School Teachers Eligibility Test (STET) (which was added
in 2008) but now by way of the new Rules, an amendment has been
made by inserting the qualification of Post Graduation in the relevant
subject along with B.Ed. and having passed the STET.  Notwithstanding
this stipulation of basic essential qualifications in the Rules, at the end
of Appendix ‘B’, Note (i) is given whereby exemption from passing
STET/Haryana Teachers Eligibility Test (HTET) is given to the
candidates who have worked as Teachers for a minimum period of four
years on the date of enforcement of these Rules. 
4.  Advertisement has been issued whereby approximately
14,000 posts of PGT Teachers in different subjects are advertised. The
qualifications common to all posts specified are: (a) Matric with
Hindi/Sanskrit or 10+2/B.A./M.A. with Hindi as one of the subject and
(b) Certificate of having qualified HTET/STET.  Further under Note-2,
one time exemption of HTET/STET has been granted to the candidates
who have worked for minimum four years till 11.4.2012 in privately
managed government aided, recognized and government schools.  It is
further provided that this relaxation is only one time and candidates will
have to qualify STET/HTET not later than 1.4.2015, otherwise their
services will be terminated automatically. CWP-15929-2012  - 20 -

5.  After some time, another notification was issued whereby
the Rules of 2012 were amended by inserting a transitional provision
under Rule 19-A whereby it is provided, as one time measure, that the
candidates whosoever were qualified under the Rules of 1998 shall also
be eligible for recruitment and they will have to qualify HTET and B.Ed.
by 1.4.2015. Thereafter, a corrigendum dated 3.7.2012 was issued
whereby under transitional provision the candidates who were eligible
under the Rules of 1998 were also made eligible, as a one time
measure, and further one time exemption is given to the candidates,
who are having four years experience till 11.4.2012 in addition to being
in position on the date of applying for the said post, to acquire
qualifications of passing HTET/STET and B.Ed.

शिक्षक भर्ती घोटाला: चौटाला की याचिका उच्चतम न्यायालय में खारिज


शिक्षक भर्ती घोटाला: चौटाला की याचिका उच्चतम  न्यायालय में खारिज

क्या बीमारी के कारण कुर्सी छोड़ देंगे चौटाला


नयी दिल्ली:  कोर्ट ने बीमारी के आधार पर उनकी अंतरिम जमानत बढ़ाने से साफ इन्कार करते हुए कहा कि क्या सत्ता में आने पर वह बीमारी के कारण कुर्सी छोड़ देंगे? पीठ ने कहा कि वह अस्पताल में नहीं रह सकते। वह बिल्कुल ठीक हैं और उन्हें जेल जाना होगा। इसके साथ ही कोर्ट ने प्रभावी और अमीर लोगों के विशेष सुविधाएं लेने पर कड़ी टिप्पणियां भी कीं। हालांकि कोर्ट ने चौटाला को समर्पण करने के लिए छह दिन का और समय दे दिया

उच्चतम न्यायालय ने हरियाणा के शिक्षक भर्ती घोटाले में दोषी पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री ओम प्रकाश चौटाला की स्वास्थ्य के आधार पर जमानत की अवधि बढ़ाने के लिये दायर याचिका आज खारिज कर दी. न्यायालय ने कहा कि उच्च स्तरीय मेडिकल बोर्ड की राय में स्पष्ट है कि अब उनके अस्पताल में रहने की आवश्यकता नहीं है.न्यायमूर्ति एच एल दत्तू और न्यायमूर्ति एस जे मुखोपाध्याय की खंडपीठ ने चौटाला की याचिका खारिज करने के साथ ही उन्हें जेल प्रशासन के समक्ष समर्पण के लिये 23 सितंबर तक का वक्त दिया है. पहले उन्हें 17 सितंबर तक समर्पण करना था. न्यायालय ने कहा कि चौटाला को हर कीमत पर 23 सितंबर तक समर्पण कर देना चाहिए.

न्यायालय ने जेल प्रशासन को निर्देश दिया कि आवश्यकता पड़ने पर चौटाला को उचित, प्रभावी और दक्षता प्राप्त चिकित्सा सहायता उपलब्ध करायी जाये.इंडियन नेशनल लोकदल के 78 वर्षीय नेता ने स्वास्थ्य के आधार पर जमानत की अवधि बढाने से उच्च न्यायालय के इंकार के बाद शीर्ष अदालत में याचिका दायर की थी. उच्च न्यायालय ने 6 सितंबर को उनकी याचिका खारिज करते हुये उन्हें 17 सितंबर तक जेल प्रशासन के समक्ष समर्पण का निर्देश दिया था.  उच्च न्यायालय ने अखिल भारतीय आयुर्विज्ञान संस्थान के मेडिकल बोर्ड की रिपोर्ट के आधार पर चौटाला की जमानत की अवधि बढ़ाने से इंकार कर दिया था. बोर्ड ने कहा था कि अब चौटाला के अस्पताल में रहने की आवश्यकता नहीं है.

 पीठ ने सजा के खिलाफ दाखिल चौटाला की अपील पर हाई कोर्ट के शीघ्र सुनवाई करने पर टिप्पणियां भी कीं। कहा कि उनकी अपील तो जनवरी में दाखिल हुई और उस पर सुनवाई भी होने लगी जबकि यहां (सुप्रीम कोर्ट) में वर्ष 2005 में मौत की सजा के केस अभी लंबित हैं।      

दिल्ली की विशेष अदालत ने 22 जनवरी को शिक्षक भर्ती घोटाले में चौटाला, उनके पुत्र अजय चौटाला को दस दस साल की तथा 53 अन्य दोषियों को अलग अलग अवधि की सजा सुनायी थी. इनमें से 44 दोषियों का चार चार साल की और एक दोषी को पांच साल की कैद की सजा सुनायी गयी है.  चौटाला ने दस साल की सजा के खिलाफ उच्च न्यायालय में याचिका दायर कर रखी है

गौरतलब है कि चौटाला और उनके पुत्र अजय चौटाला और 53 अन्य जूनियर बेसिक प्रशिक्षित शिक्षक भर्ती घोटाले में अलग अलग समय के लिए जेल में सजा काट रहे हैं
