Port Blair, Dec 16: In a crucial development in the matter of affiliation of the DBRAIT, the students have filed a PIL in the honourable High Court Kolkata at Kolkata, Circuit Bench at Port Blair today.
As per report, the much harried students of the DBRAIT said that they have lost all hopes from the Administration as well as from all political parties, as neither of them has come up with a concrete solution in respect of the affiliation of the DBRAIT. They approached the Education Minister with the issue but that also yielded no result, and hence they were compelled to knock on the doors of the honourable Court for justice.
The PIL was filed by seven members, 4 students, two parents and a public representative.
According to the PIL petitioners, their plea was given due importance and the hon’ble Judge heard them seriously and asked the Administration to come with a clear cut, concrete and comprehensive solution in Black & White.
According to the report, the Court also asked the Administration to arrange professors and if required go to Pondicherry to find a solution to this issue. “Situation which prevailed till date shall not continue any longer,” the Judge reportedly said as told by the PIL petitioners.
According to Mr. Sagar the Court has also directed to stop the new admission process for B.Tech in DBRAIT.
The DBRAIT student Mr. Sagar, the main PIL petitioner said that they haven’t hired any pleader, they drafted the PIL themselves with the guidance of some veteran persons wanting to end the corruption and also with the consultations with a few lawyers and with the suggestions of their colleagues, they filed a proper PIL.
Mr. Sagar alleged that about 200 students have already quit the college, in fact they were forced to quit the college and take admission in other colleges. Now there are merely 5 to 6 students in a classroom of the College while the guest Assistant Professors are also reportedly quitting job, they are leaving DBRAIT because they are harassed while local lower rank lecturers are given higher posts, besides no increment is given to the guest Assistant Professors, they further alleged.
