Chennai: A teacher who appeared for the Teacher Eligibi­lity Test sued the TRB (Teacher Recruitment Board) for causing severe mental agony to him by not giving correct ans­wers in the RTI reply for three questions which appeared in the exam. The court ordered the TRB official to pay Rs 5,000 as compensation to the litigant.

N. Arasakumaran of Karur filed a complaint with the Karur consu­mer court in December 2012 saying that he took the economics exam as a part of the TET exam in May 2012 and hoped he would get through and secure a government job.

"When I verified the answers with the blue print released by TRB online, I was surprised to see that in the case of three questions, two answers were given for each question and in the case of another set of three questions, answers were not given. I sent an RTI petition to TRB regarding the confusion in these answers and also attached a guide that gives the correct answer. I also sought details on appointment of teachers through caste-based reservation," he said in his petition.

Since the TRB official failed to respond to Arasakumaran's RTI petition within the stipulated period, he moved the consumer court seeking compensation for the mental agony he suffered. He argued that if he had received the information on time, he would have approached the officials and could have landed the job.

Ruling that non-furnishing of information to Arasakumaran amounted to deficiency of service, consumer court judge P. Ramakrishnan and member P. Vishakan ordered the public information officer to pay Rs 5,000 as compensation for the mental agony caused to Arasakumaran and Rs 500 as litigation costs within two months.
