Delhi High Court has rejected the decision of Jamia Millia Islamia University, in which the university administration had ordered the dissolution of Jamia Teachers Association in 2022. The court called it a violation of the fundamental rights of teachers and said that no person or institution should go against the rights of the Constitution.
The actual matter was that the Jamia administration had dissolved the Teachers Association by issuing two orders, the office of the Association was sealed and the officials were barred from using the office or funds. After this, the Teachers Association had approached the court, in which today they have got a big relief.
constitutional rights
Justice Sachin Dutta canceled both the orders while hearing. He said that Article 19(1)(c) of the Constitution gives every citizen the right to form and continue any association or organization. The court said that this right is not limited to just forming an organization but also gives it the freedom to run it with its own elected members and rules.
Justice Dutta also said that if there is a dispute or problem in an organization, it should be resolved through the democratic process and not by directly dissolving it.
canceled order
The Jamia administration had said in its argument that under the Jamia Millia Islamia Act, they have the right to regulate or dissolve the association, but the court rejected this argument and said that no institution can be above the Constitution.
This decision of the court has brought a wave of happiness among the teachers of Jamia. Many teachers called it a “victory of justice and democracy”. Now the Jamia Teachers Association will be able to start its work again and will be able to strengthen the voice of the teachers.
decision becomes precedent
This decision has also become an example for universities and educational institutions across the country which shows that democratic institutions and their rights will be protected at all costs.
