This is an eye-opener for those who indulge in maladministration but not capable of doing it. The issue involved does not wound round
RTI. The fact of the case is that the department called for application for appointment of Teacher. They did not specifically called for Trained Techer.Your friend is one of the applicant. She is not a Trained Teacher. Undergoing traing is not a qualification but that aspect may or may not be considered as an added qualification purely at the descretion of the appointing authority . She is not selected but some one else is selected. There is nothing wrong. There is absolutely no regulation laying down that undergoing traing is a qualification and such persons should be considered in appointment to posts for which training could be useful when they have not made any such notification when calling in.. One should remember that since the aspect of training is not mentioned in the notification, undergoing training or even possession of qualification of Trained teacher does not make her entitled for the job of teacher.
This is a case of involvement of corruption When the case is cought all got panicky. Had they stuck to their original stand nothing shoud have happened. They have every right to appoint anyone who is in possession of the qualification notified.
I do not know as to what information she gained through
RTI and how did it help. There was no need of relieving the Teacher employed. The department should have stuck to their claim that the interview found the candidate they selected was the candidate most suitable for the post. I just could not find as to how the
SIC could order an enquiry of all the issues stated above. The duty of the
SIC is to ensure that the information sought is provided and not to enter into other merrits of the case.
