HC issues notice to UoH, State over Sanskrit Associate Professor recruitment
Justice Namavarapu Rajeshwar Rao of Telangana High Court instructed the University of Hyderabad and the State government not to finalise filling up the post of Associate Professor in Sanskrit Studies reserved for Scheduled Castes pending adjudication of a writ petition. An assistant professor in A.V. College, R. Nagaraju, who applied for the post, filed the plea challenging rejection of his candidature for the post. The petitioner's counsel contended that his client had the qualifications required for the post of Associate Professor in Sanskrit Studies like master's degree with at least 55% marks, Ph.D. in relevant/allied disciplines and minimum of eight years of teaching and/or research. He applied for the post online and the same was acknowledged by the university. However, the university's website stated that his application was rejected stating it was 'not in the area of specialisation'. The petitioner sent a letter to the university under the RTI Act seeking information on what grounds and basis his application was rejected. He also wanted to know complete details of scrutiny of applications and the selection process. The university responded stating that all the details could not be explained since the recruitment was under process. It stated 'information not held' with regard to the enquiry if there was any specific regulation prescribing the specialisation for the post. Subsequently, the petitioner found at page 18 of the detailed brochure of the university that a post-graduate and degree in any branch of Ayurveda recognised under the IMCC Act along with specialisation in Samhita Siddhanta, exposure to Indian/modern psychology and working knowledge of Sanskrit research methodology are part of 'desirable qualification'. The petitioner's counsel argued that the essential qualification for the post were a master's degree and Ph.D. in allied discipline (which encompasses Sanskrit). 'Nowhere the requirement of degree in Ayurveda was mentioned as qualification,' the petitioner's counsel argued. The judge issued notices to the university authorities and the State government before adjourning the matter to July 17.
