JAMMU, June 24: High Court today directed the Government to ensure that Supreme Court order regarding private coaching by the teachers is not violated in any manner and issued notices to the Commissioner/ Secretary, School Education Department and Director School Education Jammu.
The direction was passed in a petition filed by various Government teachers, who usually go to private coaching institutions, challenging Order No.577-DSEJ of 2015 dated 25.10.2015 whereby prohibition on private tuitions by Government teachers has been imposed.
The petitioners termed the impugned Government order as illegal, violative of order/judgment dated 18.11.2011 passed by the State High Court in WPPIL No.6/2011 in petition titled Vichar Kranti International & Another Versus State of J&K & Others and to frustrate the impending decision in SLP (Civil) CC No.9115/2012.
Senior Advocate Sunil Sethi with Advocate Veenu Gupta appearing for the petitioners submitted that order dated August 11, 2005 in as much as it conferred right on Government to grant permission qua teachers and doctors to engage themselves by way of self employment or in the form of accepting part time employment in private coaching centers two hours before the opening of school and two hours after closing the schools, was set-aside by the Division Bench in a Public Interest Litigation.
He further submitted that Supreme Court has stayed the order of the Division Bench of State High Court banning private practice by the State Government doctors and tuition by teachers. “This position is stated to be continuing till date and the impugned order regarding ban on private tuition by the teachers in coaching centers is in derogation of the orders of Supreme Court”, he added.
After hearing counsels for the petitioners, Justice BS Walia issued notices to Commissioner/Secretary School Education Department and Director School Education Jammu with the direction to ensure that the orders of the Supreme Court are not violated in any manner.
