    UK High Court rules upcoming nurses strike unlawful

    LONDON: A 48-hour strike by nurses in England called on May 2 over the Bank Holiday weekend will be cut short by a day following a High Court decision that the walkout would be illegal.

    The strike organised by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) over pay and working conditions will begin as planned at 8 p.m. on April 30, but will now end at midnight on May 1, reports Xinhua news agency.

    According to the court ruling, the mandate an earlier RCN’s ballot gave the organisation for calling the strike will expire on May 2.

    Calling it “the darkest day of this dispute”, Pat Cullen, RCN’s general secretary and chief executive, said the government had won the legal battle but had lost nursing and the public.

    “The full weight of government gave ministers this victory over nursing staff. It is the darkest day of this dispute so far – the government taking its own nurses through the courts in bitterness at their simple expectation of a better pay deal.

    “Nursing staff will be angered but not crushed by today’s interim order. It may even make them more determined to vote in next month’s reballot for a further six months of strike action. Nobody wants strikes until Christmas — we should be in the negotiating room, not the courtroom today.

    “The government has won this legal battle. But they have lost the support of nursing staff and the public. The most trusted profession has been taken through the courts, by the least trusted people,” Cullen was quoted as saying in an official statement.

    Responding to the court ruling, Steve Barclay, the country’s health and social care secretary, said the government welcomed the decision and called on the RCN members to “do the right thing by patients and agree derogations for their strike action”

    High Court reprimanded the inquiry committee for verifying the certificates, why not weed out the true-fake degrees

    Shimla. The State High Court has once again reprimanded the inquiry committee which verified the detailed marks certificates issued to the students by Manav Bharti University. A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Sabina and Justice Satyen Vaidya expressed surprise that even three years after the fake degree scam came to light, the inquiry committee could not sort out the genuine degrees awarded to the students and the fake degrees. The court reprimanded the inquiry committee and said that this court will not let the affected students wait for decades for their hard-earned degrees. Out of about 2300 degree holders, about 250 students have written letters to the court or approached the high court through private petitions, pleading to get their original degrees back. The applicants said that due to lack of sponsor in their names from the university, they are not even getting admission for higher education.

    The future of hundreds of innocent students like him is being played with and no one is giving priority to understanding their situation. Describing the criteria set by the Screening Committee as very strict, the applicants said that it is extremely difficult to get degrees on the basis of those criteria. As per the order of the court, the committee was ordered to fix such criteria on the basis of which copies of documents can be given to the students. It is noteworthy that as per the directions of the High Court, the Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Commission had ordered to constitute a committee to investigate and verify the documents related to fake degrees of Manav Bharti University.
