Rajasthan high court has postponed the hearing on a petition challenging the conduct of REET on April 25 on Mahaveer Jayanti to April 5JAIPUR: The Rajasthan high court has issued a notice to RTO Dausa seeking reply on the reason for issuing permit on route from Gudha Ramchandji road from Sikandra without passing any order.
The single bench issued the order on a petition by Dharam Singh. The petitioner’s counsel Satish Khandelwal stated that the order was passed before issuing the permit under the Motor Vehicles Act, which can be challenged in the State Transport Appellate Tribunal.
The tribunal refused to hear the petitioner Dharam Singh’s case saying there is no order that has been issued by the RTO for issuing permits.
The petitioner was forced to approach the high court, pleading that corruption in RTO Dausa is neck deep and any person could obtain a permit by paying money. RTO Dausa did not pass any official order even though it is mandatory under law.
The high court treated the matter seriously and asked the Commissioner of Transport, Jaipur, RTO Dausa to file a reply by April 8.
REET hearing postponed to April 5
The high court has postponed the hearing on a petition challenging the conduct of REET on April 25 on Mahaveer Jayanti to April 5. The petition has been made by the All India Digambar Jain Teerth Kshetra Committee and Rajasthan Jain Sabha.
The petition stated that the RBSE is going to conduct the REET on April 25. On the day of Mahavir Jayanti, Jain community offers prayers in temples. Those candidates who practice Jainism will be deprived of worship on the auspicious day if exam was conducted on April 25. This is violating their constitutional rights.
Meanwhile, senior advocate in the high court Poonam Chand Bhandari started an indefinite fast demanding postponement of the test.
