JAMMU, July 15: A write petition was filed against two Universities of Jammu and Kashmir in National Commission for Schedule Tribes and University Grant Commission simultaneously for not implementing reservation in recruitments and promotions for Schedule Tribes at various level .
The petition was filed by Tribal Research and Cultural Foundation -a frontal organisation of Gujjar and Bakerwals representing Schedule Tribe communities of Jammu and Kashmir, against Kashmir University (KU) and Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University (BGSBU) as both the Universities have failed to implement reservation laws for STs in recruitments thereby committing violation of constitutional obligations and denied safeguards available to Tribal communities of the State .
Confirming this, Dr. Javaid Rahi, Secretary of Tribal Foundation has stated that on behalf of the Foundation our Legal Adviser has filed a case against both the Universities Kashmir in National Commission for Schedule Tribes and University Grants Commission and prayed for justice.
The petition maintains that as per laws of the J&K State, the Gujjars and Bakerwals ST communities are entitled for 10% reservation in recruitment and promotions, in all the Government and autonomous bodies of the State but Kashmir University and Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University (BGSBU) have violated constitution and UGC guidelines as both are not providing even 1% recruitment to tribes.
