HC orders govt to fill posts of JBT teacher
Chandigarh, March 27 The directions by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Mahesh Grover came on a petition by Arun Kumar, seeking directions for the appointment of “adequate teachers” in government primary and middle schools. He had contended that the students-teacher ratio in the schools mentioned in the petition was drastically lower than that prescribed under the Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. As the case came up for hearing, the Principal Secretary, School Education Department, Haryana, filed an affidavit before the court. After going through the affidavit, the Bench observed it “indicates that 1,189 posts of JBT teacher are required to be sanctioned and 10,414 posts out of the sanctioned posts are vacant.” “Insofar as the 10,414 vacant posts are concerned, it has been stated that recruitment against 544 posts of JBT Urdu teacher is being undertaken separately and a requisition has been sent to the Haryana School Teachers Selection Board for filling the remaining 9,870 posts”. Referring to the tentative schedule worked out for filling 9,870 posts, the Bench added: “According to the schedule, 322 days (tentatively) are required for completion of the process by the board”. The Bench added: “We deem it appropriate to close the petition by directing the state to initiate and complete the process in terms of the averments made in the affidavit… and to adhere to various time schedules mentioned in it….” The Bench also warned the state against major departure from the schedule. “Any such departure will be viewed by this court as a violation of the present order.”

Rs 37-cr cash rewards given under sports policy: CM
Sonepat, March 27 He was speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the Haryana State Panchayat Sports Meet-2012 at Motilal Nehru School of Sports, Rai, in the district. The government was determined to give sports a definitive push and had introduced a “Bring Medal, Get Job” new edge in its policy for outstanding sportspersons, he added.

The number of students applying for SPAT had increased from around 80,000 in 2010 to more than 17 lakh this year, he added. “Every effort is being made to popularise sports in rural areas so that hidden talents can be groomed for competing at the national and international level sports events,” he said.

Urvashi Gulati to be Info Commissioner
Chandigarh, March 27 The government has not yet opened its cards on who would be the next Chief Secretary. Though Raj Kumar, Financial Commissioner and Principal Secretary, Revenue, is the senior most IAS officer in the state after Gulati, the name of PK Chaudhary, who is currently on deputation with the Union Government, is also making rounds. While Raj Kumar has about another five months to retire, Chaudhary, if he becomes the Chief Secretary, will have about 18 months before he retires. If Chaudhary is appointed Chief Secretary, it would not be the first case of supersession during the tenure of the present government. Earlier, Prem Prashant was made the Chief Secretary, superseding KC Sharma.

Norms for grant of CLU for residential purposes
Chandigarh, March 27 A spokesman of the department said here today the site should be an isolated or residential pocket, which otherwise could not be beneficially used by HUDA independently upon its acquisition. The CLU permission for residential use would only be considered where 90 per cent of the sector area had either been acquired by HUDA or licensed under the provisions of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975. These requests would be considered only where basic facilities like road, water and sewerage
were available. The maximum area to be considered for the CLU permission for a residential house should not exceed 500 square yards. However, if the site beyond 500 square yards was still unusable, the
area to be considered for the CLU would be decided on merit. |
