| New Delhi, Aug 31: The Rajya Sabha today decided to defer the educational tribunal bill to the next session. The decision was taken with the consent of the house after Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal agreed to the demand made by several opposition members that the bill be deferred.
In his reply, Sibal rejected the contention of opposition members that the Educational Tribunals Bill, 2010 had been brought in a hurry or the suggestions of the standing committee had been disregarded. He also said the bill will not have an impact on jurisdiction of states.
Sibal said that if the members wanted the bill to be deferred, he had no problems.
The bill provides for the establishment of educational tribunals for effective and expeditious adjudication of disputes involving teachers and other employees of higher educational institutions and other stakeholders (including students, universities, institutions and statutory regulatory authorities) and to adjudicate penalties for indulging in unfair practices in higher education.
