Justice D. Hariparanthaman of the Madras High Court dismissed a petition asking for lower pass marks for disabled candidates for the TET (Teacher Eligibility Test). Mr. K. Kumaravel had filed a petition asking for appointment under priority quota for the disabled.
�No category of people, including the disabled, could ask for lowering of qualifying marks for a pass in TET. Reservation provided for disabled people is not taken away by prescribing minimum qualifying marks�, said Justice Hariparanthaman.
�No person could claim any relaxation of qualifying marks in the TET, which (is) not a competitive exam� Candidates who had applied under every quota such as SC, ST, MBC and BC have to secure 90 marks which is the minimum prescribed mark to pass the examination�, said Additional Government Pleader P. Sanjan Gandhi.
