HC rejects petition against SKIMS order 1/6/2015 10:44:12 PM S Sabaqat Srinagar, Jan 6: Jammu and Kashmir High Court has dismissed a petition, challenging an order passed by the Director SKIMS on November 6, 2011 regarding filling up of the post of Principal SKIMS Medical College and Hospital Bemina Srinagar. The petition was filed by one Dr Reyaz Ahmad Untoo, Professor and HoD SKIMS Medical College and had challenged the order primarily on two grounds. Firstly that the order was discriminatory as it prescribed upper age limit for the post of Principal as 58 years in regard to the faculty of SKIMS Medical College and Hospital Bemina Srinagar as against 60 years in respect of faculty of SKIMS Soura. The second ground is that essential qualification and experience prescribed for the post of principal were much higher than the one prescribed for filling up the post of Director SKIMS and on that ground, it was urged that the same be quashed. In its objections, Director SKIMS said that earlier the post of Principal of SKIMS Medical College and Hospital Bemina was filled up by the senior faculty members of SKIMS Soura from time to time. The Director said that decision was taken as per the eligibility criteria for promotion of the existing faculty members and appointment of lecturers at the entry level of the SKIMS Medical College Bemina Srinagar to be determined with reference to Government Medical College Rules and Medical Council of India norms. The Director said that by virtue of the order dated 6-11-2012, the faculty of SKIMS Medical College can compete for the appointment against the post of Principal in the Medical College, which post was being filled up till then only by the senior faculty members of SKIMS Soura. After hearing both the parties, the court rejected the petition. "The fact that the main petition stands dismissed, upholding the criteria as regards age and qualification prescribed for the post of Principal, the present petition accordingly didn't survive," said a single bench of the court comprising Justice Tashi Rabstan.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
