Quick Summary: R. Sureshkumar took the Teachers Recruitment Board to court because they changed the exam date for post graduate assistants without following their own schedule. The court told the board to consider Sureshkumar's complaint.

The Case Begins

R. Sureshkumar filed a request against the Teachers Recruitment Board (TRB) because they didn't stick to their exam schedule. He wanted the court to make the TRB listen to his complaint about the exam date change.

Sureshkumar's Complaint

Sureshkumar, who has a Master's in Zoology and a B.Ed, was upset because the TRB changed the exam date from November to September 28, 2025. This was against the Tentative Annual Planner for 2025. He sent a complaint on August 18, 2025, but the TRB didn't respond.

"As per the Notification, the examination for recruitment... is slated on 28.09.2025, which is prior to November 2025."

Court's Direction

Judge A.D. Jagadish Chandira listened to both sides. Sureshkumar's lawyer, Mr. K. Kathiresan, argued that the TRB should have considered the complaint. The TRB's lawyer, Mr. C. Kathiravan, said they would announce the exam date soon but didn't mind if the court gave directions.

The Court's Decision

The court didn't go into the case details but told the TRB to consider Sureshkumar's complaint within three weeks. This decision was made to ensure fairness and sticking to the planned schedule.

"The respondent to consider the petitioner's representation, dated 18.08.2025, within a period of three weeks."

Verdict Summary
