Justice Ramachandra Menon said judgment would be applicable to all irrespective of the fact that they were petitioners to the case or not.

 Dear Friends,
                        The following is the latest news from The Hindu regarding Justice Ramchandra Menon's clarification regarding application of Kerala High Court verdict to non-petitioners too.         
          
           " The benefit of a single Bench order quashing the new qualifying criteria prescribed by the University Grants Commission (UGC) after holding the National Eligibility Test (NET) for lectureships will be available to all eligible candidates, the Kerala High Court held on Tuesday.
Justice T.R. Ramachandran Nair had earlier held that UGC regulations did not confer any right on the UGC to fix high marks after holding the NET.
He also maintained that such criteria cannot be introduced just before the announcement of the results by executive orders.
The introduction of the new criteria was not supported by law.
In his order on Tuesday, Justice P.R. Ramachandra Menon said the apex court had earlier held that if a judgment was rather declaratory, it would be applicable to all irrespective of the fact that they were petitioners to the case or not.
The verdict passed by the single judge was declaratory in nature, the court said disposing of a batch of petitions seeking to obtain the benefits of the judgment by the single judge.
Justice T.R. Ramachandran Nair had observed that the students were jolted when the UGC all of a sudden prescribed the percentage of the aggregate marks. The adoption of such norms at the final stage and just before the declaration of the results had affected the candidates.
Justice P.R. Ramachandra Menon, in the order on Tuesday, said since the petitioners sought the benefits of the declaratory judgment, the court did not find any reason to take a different course."

  1. I appeared for ugc net june 2012 n my subject was Tourism Admn and Management (93).In my subject,professors failed to set questions from the core subject area. Again it is easy to say verbally the questions and answers. they did this and now they are talking about the standard of net candidates. thanks to ugc that thet have introduced API format to check corruption. But now their rigid stand against Court is not expected.

  2. Respected Sir,
    I am from Burdwan district,West Bengal.I appeared for net so many times. I know how professors help their near and dear ones.In my field Tourism (93) there are two main lobbies in India.exchanging information and biased evaluation is not impossible. Why UGC did not check this? Why UGC did not advice Universities to change seat arrangements after introducing Objective mode? Any court should talk about the law and restoration of constitutional value.Court knows its jurisdiction and work. But what about UGC? In my subject tourism Objective questions were GK based, not core subjects. Because my learned professors are either from Botany or geography or history.
