Telangana HC gives nod to EFLU to conduct recruitment interviews; restricts from announcing the result

The HC has directed the varsity not to declare the results of the interviews until further orders.

Telangana High Court (HC) has stayed an order of the National Commission For Backwards Classes (NCBC) that has stalled interviews that were supposed to be conducted for filling various posts like teachers etc, at the English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU) in Hyderabad.

The HC has directed the varsity not to declare the results of the interviews until further orders.

“You can conduct the interviews, but cannot reveal the outcome of the same,” the HC said addressing the counsel for the university. A bench of Chief Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B Vijaysen Reddy gave the interim direction while hearing the petition filed by the varsity challenging the restraint order passed by the NCBC.

The NCBC had earlier heard the complaint filed by the Congress spokesperson Dasoju Sravan Kumar, who charged the varsity with flouting the rule related to BC quota in central jobs. The quota was approved and came through an Act passed by the Parliament and yet the University never bothered to implement it, he said.

The commission had earlier summoned varsity authorities and sought details of the ongoing recruitment. It came to a prima facie conclusion that the varsity was flouting the norms and stayed the interviews that were scheduled to be conducted now. The plea filed by EFLU before the HC, contended that the NCBC did not possess the power to injunct and hence the stopping of interviews was wrong. Its counsel also leveled allegations against the commission saying that they were not given proper opportunity to explain their case before staying the process.
