Justice K. Lakshman of Telangana High Court on Monday closed the contempt of court petition seeking action against authorities for not enforcing the HC order to relieve principals of Model Schools of the duties to run hostels attached to the schools.
The judge took the decision after the government counsel told the bench that government had come out with an order taking off the duties of running the hostels from the job chart of the Model Schools Principals. As per the order issued five days ago, the Special Officers of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) will be over-all in-charge of the hostels attached to Model schools.
They will look after all the tasks relating to financial and administrative activities. They would run the hostels with the assistance of the existing staff. The caretakers working in KGBV are temporarily re-designated as caretaker-cum-warden. They are assigned the duties which were hitherto being discharged by the Model Schools principals, the order said.
