UPTET SARKARI NAUKRI News - JRT ORDER PART 7 -

UPTET SARKARI NAUKRI   News - JRT ORDER PART 7 

30. Now what has come on record is that Rule 14(3) of Fifteenth Amendment Rules, 2012 has been struck down in Shiv Kumar Pathak and others Vs. State of U.P. and others (supra), deciding 29 appeals by a common judgment dated 20.11.2013 by Division Bench consisting of Hon'ble Ashok Bhushan and Hon'ble Vipin Sinha, JJ. The Division Bench has struck down Rule 14(3) on the ground that it is arbitrary, unreasonable and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. The relevant discussion and findings are as under: 
"The 15th amendment rules has been challenged on the ground of it being arbitrary and unreasonable being violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. The notification dated 23.8.2010 issued under Section 23 (1) of the Act, 2009 being under a Parliamentary enactment has to prevail over any rules made by the State under a State Act. The Rules, 1981 right from 1993 contains an Appendix which provides a formula for selecting a teacher. Appendix indicates that selection was based only on the educational qualification of an candidate including the training qualification. After the notification dated 23.8.2010 and guidelines dated 11.2.2011 issued by the National Council for Teacher Education, the State amended its Rules, 1981 by 12th amendment rules to bring it in conformity with the above notification and guidelines. The 12th amendment rules was perfectly in accordance with law and the challenge to the aforesaid rules have also been repelled by this Court in two judgments of Seeta Ram and Govind Kumar Dixit's case (supra). The decision of the State Government not to give any weightage to the marks obtained in the Teacher Eligibility Test Examination-2011 cannot be said to be in conformity with the guidelines of the National Council for Teacher Education referred to above and was clearly arbitrary. The Full Bench of this Court in Shiv Kumar Sharma's case (supra) has already held that the State Government cannot disregard the guidelines of National Council For Teacher Education dated 11.2.2011. The 15th Amendment Rules is thus also contrary to law declared by this Court. The Teacher Eligibility Test (Examination-2011) which has been recognised as an essential qualification for the teachers selection, hence without giving any weightage to the said examination the State cannot proceed with the selection. As noted above, the allegations made against few candidates of committing irregularities in the Teacher Eligibility Test or involvement in criminal offence cannot be a ground to deny benefit of Teacher Eligibility Test to lacs and lacs of the candidates against whom there is neither any allegation nor any charge. The State having not cancelled the Teacher Eligibility Test-2011 and having allowed the Teacher Eligibility Test to be utilised for qualification of candidates ought to have given full effect to the result of the Teacher Eligibility Test examination. The allegations of irregularities and involvement in criminal offence by some candidates was fully neutralised by the State's decision to debar any such candidates from the selection against whom there are allegations of irregularities or involvement in criminal offence. The High Powered Committee has further stated in its report that an undertaking be taken on an affidavit from all the candidates that in event anything adverse is found against them, their selection shall be cancelled. The State having given effect to the notification dated 23.8.2011 as well as the guidelines dated 11.2.2011 issued by the National Council for Teacher Education by amending its rules by 12th amendment rules, which was in consonance with the scheme under the Act, 2009, a Parliamentary enactment cannot be allowed to go back and resort to its old criteria for selection which was prevalent prior to the Act, 2009 and prior to the notification dated 23.8.2010 and guidelines dated 11.2.2011. We are, thus of the view that Rule 14(3) of the 15th amendment rules by which the criteria for selection was changed has to be held to be arbitrary and unreasonable and deserves to be struck down. .... 
In view of the foregoing discussions, we conclude that the decision of the State Government to change the criteria of selection by restoring the criteria of selection as prevalent prior to 12th amendment rules was not in conformity with law. The 15th amendment rules, in so far as Rule 14(3) as well as the Government Order dated 31.8.2012 were also not sustainable." 
(emphasis added) 
31. Having said so, Division Bench also set aside G.O. Dated 31.08.2012, issued consequent to the aforesaid amendment, holding that advertisement dated 30.11.2011 has become ineffective and stands cancelled. Thereafter the Court granted relief in the following manner: 
In the result all the Special Appeals are allowed to the following extent: 
1. The Government Order dated 26.7.2011 insofar as it directs for restoration of criteria for selection as was prevalent prior to 12th amendment rules is set-aside. 
2.The U.P. Basic Education (Teachers) Service Amendment Rules, 2012 (15th Amendment Rules dated 31.8.2012) in so far as Rule 14 (3) is concerned is declared to be ultra-vires to Article 14 of the Constitution and are struck down. Consequently, the Government Order dated 31.8.2012 as well as the communication dated 31.8.2012 issued by the board of Basic Education are set-aside. 
3. Respondents are directed to proceed and conclude the selection as per the advertisement dated 30.11.2011 as modified on 20.12.2011 to its logical end within the time allowed by the Central Government vide its notification issued under Section 23 (2) of the Act, 2009. 
4. The judgment of the learned Single Judge is modified to the above extent. (emphasis added) 
32. This Court has no manner of doubt, when Rule 14(3) as inserted by Fifteenth Amendment Rules, 2012 has been struck down vide Court's judgment dated 20.11.2013, it would result in making this provision, non-est. By that time, G.O. dated 31.8.2012 providing for recruitment was already issued. It has referred to Appendix-A i.e. Appendix-I as inserted in Rules, 1981. Once it is struck down, it disappears from its very inception. Therefore, any preparation of list following Appendix-I of Rule 14 (3) as inserted by Fifteenth Amendment Rules, 2012 would be clearly illegal and erroneous. 
33. The case set up by respondent-State is that this selection has been finalized in accordance with Rules, 1981, as amended by Fifteenth Amendment Rules, 2012 and Sixteenth Amendment Rules, 2012. Admittedly they have followed Rule 14(3) and its Appendix, as substituted and inserted by Fifteenth Amendment Rules, 2012, read with Sixteenth Amendment Rules, 2012. 
34. Thus, the only question up for consideration is, whether respondents-authorities are justified in preparing list of selected candidates in accordance with Rule 14(3) read with its Appendix, as substituted by Fifteenth Amendment Rules, 2012 read with Rule 14(3) of Sixteenth Amendment Rules, 2012.
