The Nagpur bench of Bombay high court has asked the University Grants Commission (UGC) to declare the result of National Eligibility Test (NET) of June 2012 exam, on ‘urgent’ basis.
The high court ordered and provided interim relief to the NET candidates on a petition filed by Suvarna Inamdar and three others, who appeared for NET, last year June.
The division bench comprising justice Bhushan Dharmadhikari and justice Atul Chandurkar also asked the UGC to file their reply to the petitioners’ contentions before July 12.
Last year in June, when UGC conducted NET it had kept criteria of scoring 40, 40 and 45 marks on an average for clearing three papers. However, when the actual results were declared, the rules were changed.
Petitioners challenged the change in norms in the high court, it ruled in petitioners’ favour by cancelling the new rules. The court also told UGC to declare their results, but the apex body failed to adhere to its orders. Instead, it challenged high court’s decision in the Supreme Court.
Citing Nagpur University’s advertisements for lecturers, petitioners contended that last date of filling forms for those posts was June 29 and 30, but since UGC failed to declare their results, they can’t apply for the same, reported
