JAMMU, June 26: Jammu and Kashmir College Contractual Teachers Association has demanded implementation of the Supreme Court direction regarding resumption of the services of the academic arrangement faculty.
Talking to media persons, here today, Dr Fayaz Ahmad Wani, President of the CCTA expressed dismay over non implementation of recent Supreme Court Orders (CIVIL APPEAL NO. 103 OF 2021) by the Department of Higher Education J&K UT regarding the resumption of services of those academic arrangement faculty members whose status is protected by the orders of High Court of J&K and CAT Jammu/Srinagar Benches.
He informed that this petition was filed by the Administrative Department of Higher Education against the verdict of CAT Jammu Bench in the Supreme Court of India. “But keeping in view the merits of the basic petitions filed by the academic arrangement faculty in High Court and CAT, Supreme Court of India dismissed the appeal of the Higher Education Department and upheld the directions of High Court and CAT passed from time to time,” he said, adding that the apex court also directed the department to resume the services of the faculty with immediate effect.
“Even as the administrative department issued order (HED- LEG/104/2022-04) in context of the above mentioned Supreme Court direction for the resumption of the duties of the academic arrangement faculty working on court directions in different Degree Colleges of Jammu and Kashmir UT, Nodal Principals circulated the vague resumption order (GGM/SC/ COLL/1293-95) which is in total violation of the Supreme Court,” said Mohd Iqbal Rather, Chief Spokesperson of Jammu and Kashmir Employees Coordination Committee, who was also present in the press conference.
Dr Fayaz castigated the delaying tactics and manipulation of the Supreme Court directions which is in turn harassing the already suffering faculty. He appealed to the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha to personally intervene in this matter and issues necessary directions to uphold the direction of judiciary in the UT.
Both the leader urged the civil societies, media fraternity, Bar Associations of Jammu/Srinagar to take note of this grave issue so that the highly qualified lot of the society is not pushed to the wall and prevent them from opting any other way to get justice.
