The Madras high court on Monday passed an interim stay against the Teachers Recruitment Board (TRB) from declaring the results of the examinations held for the posts of computer instructors (Grade-I) 2019.
Justice M Dandapani passed the order on a petition by D Dhayana and five others challenging the exams conducted on June 23 and 27. According to the petitioners, a notification was issued to conduct an online computer based examination consisting of a single paper of three hours duration with 150 questions. Each question carried one mark.
The petitioners further submitted that they understood that the examination would be conducted in Tamil as the vacancies also included those from Tamil medium schools. But to their “shock and surprise, the exams were conducted only in English”.
Claiming that they believed that the exams would also be conducted in Tamil as the notification did not specifically mention that it would be conducted only in English, the petitioners submitted that they believed there was reservation for students studying in Tamil medium. The petitioners further alleged that the TRB authorities informed them that the exam would be conducted only in English just a week before the scheduled dates.
“Being students from the Tamil medium, we are entitled to write the exams in Tamil and denying such opportunity to us would amount to discrimination,” they said in the petition. The petitioners have appealed that the court call for the records of the notification and declare it as “null and void”.
