DELHI HC PULLS UP NCERT ON REVISION OF LIST OF SELECTED STUDENTS OF NCERT NATIONAL TALENT SEARCH EXAMINATION 2012


DELHI HC PULLS UP NCERT ON REVISION OF LIST OF SELECTED STUDENTS OF NCERT NATIONAL TALENT SEARCH EXAMINATION 2012 Delhi High Court (G.S. Sistani) has today (05.03.2013) issued notices to NCERT and HRD Ministry, Government of India on a petition filed by three aggrieved parents through Advocate Ashok Agarwal against the revised list of selected candidates of National Talent Search Examination, 2012 conducted by National Council of Educational Research & Training (NCERT), published in January, 2013, whereby the NCERT revised the final list of the selected candidates published on 16.08.2012, excluding the names of the as many as 40 students from the list of the selected candidates and thereby depriving them of the qualifying certificates and scholarships of Rs.500/- per month. Justice Sistani pulls up NCERT questioning the rationale behind revising the result on the basis of representations received way beyond the deadline for entertaining such representations, fixed by the NCERT itself. The High Court has sought replies from NCERT and HRD Ministry within 4 weeks. “The action on the part of the NCERT in revising the list of 16.8.2012 is totally arbitrary, unjust, anti-child, unreasonable, unfair, violative of the principles of the natural justice, violative of Articles 14 & 21 of the Constitution of India. It has also caused mental agony, trauma and harassment to the students that were authentically and consciously declared successful in the National Talent Search Examination (NTSE), 2012 as back as on 16.08.2012” argued Mr. Agarwal. Next date of hearing is 24 May, 2013. Ashok Agarwal, Advocate M-09811101923 05.03.2013

Let's salute the honorable judge of Delhi High Court. and the passion of Mr. Agarwal for stepping in the direction of truth. Just imagine, if an honorable judge is appointed/promoted to the position of chief justice and after 6 months HE is being informed, that it was a mistake on the part of concerned department and his promotion stands cancelled. Probably he/she will SUFFER A STROKE. Let us empathize with all these children who are eagerly waiting for justice as per Fundamental Rights.

I respect what you are doing as it is unjust on the part of NCERT to have set up a faulty question paper. Since this is an examination of national calibre, it is naturally expected to be checked and rechecked. I support you, since I am one of the 40 students, and if you require any help, please just contact me. Thank you for helping us out.

Sir ,
Hats off to you and shame to big bosses of NCERT who can not frame proper question paper and solution for clas 8th level . It is scam . Who are those 40 students whose names were included in revised list ? Are they favorites of NCERT for them all rules twisted . NCERT bosses do not deserve their post , they should be sent to jail for behaving in irresoponsible, arbitary ways . They are dynosours being fed on taxpayers money . I request all citizens of India to join this fight of truth against NCERT .

It is once again proved that justice can be expected only from judiciary.HONORABLE Judge of Delhi High Court is to be appreciated for taking note of the fact that NCERT has entertained further Objection/suggestion which was beyond their Jurisdiction after declaration of final Result.

So it goes....the NCERT has accepted representations beyond 15th July and again beyond 16th Aug2012. Not only accepted, they have entertained, they have formed a committee to review and even took a TUGLAQI decision, without publicly informing all concerned, in an clandestine manner. AGARWAL Sir, WITH ALL YOU PRUDENCE and experience ,do not leave these RED TAPE WORMS eat away the fruits of natural justice

NCERT is hiding behind the "Expert advice" and not offering any comment why and by which authority they entertained the representation after the declaration of result.
Why opportunity have not been given to all students especially 40 students to counter lodge their comments whose name were deleted.
NCERT claims their books were best and made by experts and reviewed by experts and practicing teachers and if the same question/answer is given in their books then who is responsible for the error.
And if NCERT feels that Books has wrong answer then benefits will go to students.This is natural justice.I hope Court will take note of all the facts.

In the frozen answer key , for question no. 90- two answers are accepted( option 3 for Hindi medium students and 4 for English medium students.Whereas in the Instructions to candidates- no. 12- It is clearly mentioned that in case of variation the English version will be taken as final. SO this action is again a TUGHLAQI FARMAN. the hindi medium students who has read the instructions and acted accordingly is punished as he has marked option 4. simple.
YOU CAN NOT FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. NCERT has to INTROSPECT AND ACT WISELY AT THE EARLIEST.

This case calls for a rightful STAY. Mr. Agarwal, I fail to understand, how our honorable Judge was not made to understand the plight of these students. If the selected candidates can wait 3 months for their results, 5 months for re-results, cannot they wait for another 2-3 months for the scholarship?There is no usefulness of this case if dragged beyond JULY2013.

Sir

Is there any further development on this case; No doubt NCERT has acted irresponsibly and without remorse - most despicable but as always. Will this be yet another case of victims getting no justice

Is NTSE really in the right hands - an organization which cannot set an error free 200 questions and ensure a fair evaluation process should voluntarily give up the right to conduct this examination .. and the head of this examination should resign owning moral responsibility

Sir , Is it true that most of the lawyers are deliberately pulling this simple case, for commercial purpose?

Anonymous said...

Is this the reason why the case is not getting to a positive conclusion. My God! this is pits and if anyone is coming in the way of justice purely because of commercial reasons, may God give them a heart.

Surely there must be a way get it solved - people keep talking of fast paced courts - can they not help

NCERT ANSWERED LIES ON THE FLOOR OF LOKSABHA VIA MINISTER MOS,HRD.Will the parliamentary committee look into it seriously? Heard all advocates concerned with this issue are purposefully delaying for commercial reasons. two of them do not pick up their clients phone also. THE APPELLANT DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHY THE SOCIAL ACTIVISTS/LAWYERS ARE SO INSENSITIVE AS THE WRONG DOER?
