Times of India: HC vacates stay on recruitment of NU teachers TNN | May 11, 2012, 05.37AM IST
NAGPUR: In a respite to Nagpur University<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Nagpur-University>, the Nagpur bench of Bombay high court<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Nagpur-bench-of-Bombay-high-court> on Thursday vacated the stay on recruitment advertisements for lecturers. A division bench comprising justices Bhushan Dharmadhikari and Ashok Bhangale vacated the ad-interim stay after NU counsel Bhanudas Kulkarni informed them that they will be deleting the specific clause in the advertisement related to appointment of persons with disability and will soon publish a corrigendum in this regard in the media. The bench then admitted the plea by blind lecturer Rajesh Asudani (35), who claimed that NU has violated Persons with Disabilities (Equal opportunities, protection of rights and full participation) act, 1995, in its advertisements for recruitment of professors, associate and assistant professors. The petitioner contended that these advertisements for filing posts in teaching departments and conducted colleges provided reservation for disabled but "subject to availability", and preference will be given to physically handicapped. He added that the advertisements failed to specify exact nature of disability and are against various circulars issued by UGC, Government of Maharashtra, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, and are also against the settled laws established by judgments of Supreme Court and various high courts. Asudani, working with RBI as class-I officer, pointed out that NU had issued advertisements for recruitment of lecturers three times in five years but failed to move beyond that till date.
