AP Government may go to court over EAMCET issue
posted on Jan 3, 2015 @ 1:38PM
The AP Reorganization Bill-2014 states that the existing system of higher education is to be continued for the next ten years without any change. This is applicable to EAMCET admissions also. But, the Telangana government is not willing to abide by that clause. It wants to conduct EAMCET separately on its own.
CM KCR argues that it is inappropriate to jointly conduct the exams even after Telangana state is emerged as a separate in the country and no other government can force his government to conduct exams jointly with it. His argument can be justified, if there is no certain clause in the AP Reorganization Bill-2014 for this purpose. But, the previous UPA government has added this clause in the bill to safeguard the interests of the students studying in the Hyderabad and in other Telangana districts.
There are lakhs of students whose origins are in Andhra Pradesh. So, all those students may badly affect if the Telangana government that is desperate to develop its own identity introduces a new syllabus and a new pattern in the EAMCET Exams. That is why the AP government is objecting the Telangana government’s proposal of conducting separate exams.
AP HRD Minister Ganta Srinivasa rao will meet Governor Narasimhan on Saturday afternoon to intimate him that his government will be forced to go to the High Court or Supreme Court if he fails to convince the Telangana government for conducting joint exams.
Since, the AP government is arguing on the basis of AP Reorganization Bill-2014, the court may direct the Telangana government to strictly abide by the clauses in the bill. But, the legal fight between the two governments may lead to confusion among the students and their precious academic year may be wasted, if there is any delay takes place in conducting the exams due to this legal battle between the two governments. So, if the Telangana government is reluctant to conduct exams jointly, it can implement the same from the next academic year onwards taking the consent of the courts.
