ACAUT through the same press release mentioned that they find it “amusing” to come across the “double standard stand” taken by the Department of School Education (DoSE) on ANATG-2015 issue in the local newspapers.
“On one hand the DoSE quotes ACAUT’s writ petition and its inability to regularize the ad hoc teachers but on the other hand, rampant backdoor appointments still continue,” ACAUT stated.
Further, ACAUT demanded that the DoSE make public the number of appointments made without advertisement till date ever since the 28.7.17 order was passed, and asked whether the Department of Higher Education is applying the same yardstick as the DoSE without fear or favor.
ACAUT also clarified that the ANATAG-2015 case has “not been impleaded in the Court case.”
“It is a known fact about the politicians and bureaucrats’ nexus of making backdoor appointments in most of all the departments even after the landmark judgments of the Supreme Court and High Court,” it stated and put on record for all educated students that, “as per the High Court Judgment and Order dated 3.8.2018, any qualified aspirant is the aggrieved petitioner having the locus standi to take any State Department to Court for redressal of backdoor appointment grievances.”
The ACAUT in conclusion said that it stands for appointments through due process of law based on fair competition and meritocracy for the interest of the future generation.
