HC asks govt to file reply within a week on TET status
The Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court has directed the state government to file a reply within a week on whether they will be holding the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) on May 18 or not. Since the first TET held had been cancelled due to an alleged paper leak, a petition had been filed to grant of stay to the examination of Paper-1 of Mah TET during the pendency of the petition. The petitioner argued that if Maharashtra State Council of Examination (Pune) is allowed to hold Paper -1 on May 18 in lieu of the cancelled paper, they may declare result of Paper-2 during the pendency of petition. The petitioner said that declaration of results will be an ‘irreparable loss’ as they will score less marks than the candidate who got the copy of leak papers.
