New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi High Court on Wednesday lifted a stay on recruitment of teachers in University of Delhi and two of its colleges after they informed the court that they have given three per cent seats to disabled candidates.
A Bench comprising Justice T S Thakur and Justice Siddharth Mridul, however, refused to lift the stay imposed on recruitment of teachers in 60 other colleges which have not implemented the Disability Act yet.
The stay was slapped in a year back while hearing a PIL seeking a implementation of the law on quota for disabled candidates for teaching posts.
With today's Court direction, 20 out of 80 colleges of the University have been allowed to recruit fresh teaching staff.
The court, on April 4, 2007, had restrained the University of Delhi and all its affiliated colleges, which failed to provide three per cent reservation for disabled candidates in the teaching department, from recruiting faculty members.
In the subsequent orders, the Court had allowed 18 colleges to go ahead with recruitments as they had inducted physically challenged teachers in their faculties in accordance with the Disability Act.
