TNTET : Supreme Court rejects plea against Tamil Nadu's decision to fix cut off marks

TNTET : Supreme Court rejects plea against Tamil Nadu's decision to fix cut off marks




Education Act | RIght To Education Act | TNTET


The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea against the Tamil Nadu government's decision to fix 60 % cut off marks in the state Teacher Eligibility Test conducted this year.
"We find it difficult to accede to the request of the counsel. The question as to whether the cut off marks stipulated for the reserved category candidates have to be reduced or not, is entirely a matter for the State Government to decide," a bench of justices KS Radhakrishnan and A K Sikri said.
"The court exercising writ jurisdiction cannot grant such relaxation/concessional marks, as the same is the decision to be taken by the State Government," it said.
A Marx, a professor, had said that fixing 60 % as uniform qualifying marks is illegal and violative of Article 16(4) of the Constitution and state government is required to fulfill the constitutional obligation in allocating minimum qualifying marks based on communal reservation.
Rejecting the plea, the apex court said the state authorities, in their wisdom, fixed the cut off marks and the "court cannot substitute its views to that of the experts. We, in such circumstances, are not inclined to interfere with these special leave petitions and the same are dismissed".
Earlier, the Madras High Court had also refused to grant relief saying this is a policy matter

न्यूनतम अंक तय करने के खिलाफ याचिका खारिज

नई दिल्ली (एजेंसी)। उच्चतम न्यायालय ने तमिलनाडु में शिक्षकों के लिए पात्रता परीक्षा में न्यनूतम 60 फीसद अंक निर्धारित करने के राज्य सरकार के निर्णय को चुनौती देने वाली याचिका खारिज कर दी। न्यायमूर्ति केएस राधाकृष्णन और न्यायमूर्ति एके सीकरी की खंडपीठ ने शुक्रवार को याचिका खारिज करते हुए कहा, ‘ हमारे लिए वकील के इस अनुरोध को स्वीकार करना मुश्किल है। आरक्षित वर्ग के प्रत्याशियों के लिये न्यूनतम अंक घटाने के सवाल पर पूरी तरह से राज्य सरकार को ही निर्णय लेना है।’ न्यायाधीशों ने कहा, ‘ रिट न्यायाधिकार का इस्तेमाल करके न्यायालय अंकों में किसी प्रकार की रियायत नहीं दे सकता क्योंकि यह निर्णय राज्य सरकार को ही करना होगा।’ प्रो. ए. मार्क्‍स का तर्क था कि सभी के लिए एक समान योग्यता अंक निर्धारित करना गैरकानूनी है और इससे संविधान के अनुच्छेद 16(4) का उल्लंघन होता है। संप्रदाय के आरक्षण के आधार पर पात्रता के लिये न्यूनतम अंक निर्धारित करना राज्य सरकार के लिए आवश्यक है। इससे पहले, मद्रास उच्च न्यायालय ने भी इसे नीतिगत मामला बताते हुए इसमें किसी प्रकार की राहत देने से इनकार कर दिया था।
