AGARTALA, June 2 (TIWN): Tripura Ex-Education Minister Tapan Chakraborty raising the 10323 terminated teachers issue expressed concerns regarding the teachers futures.

The 10323 teachers case will be taken to Supreme Court appealing the court to extend  their jobs up to June 30, 2020.

However, reacting over the govt's decision, the CPI-M leader said, "What Supreme Court will do we don't know, but if Supreme Court agrees, then also a big question remains what will be the future of those teachers after 2020 ?"

"Before the Election, BJP played with the 10323 teachers sentiments and after the Election, they are trying to escape. But BJP has to fulfill all promises of the Vision Document including 10323", said Chakraborty.

"BJP promised that once in power BJP Govt will save all the jobs of the 10323 teachers, but now they are dumping all the blames upon the CPI-M Govt, whereas CPI-M Govt did its best to save 10323 teachers", said Tapan Chakraborty. 

Noteworthy, even though 10323 scam held in CPI-M Govt's era, BJP said in Vision Document, "The government will resolve the problem of 10,323 teachers keeping humanitarian considerations in mind". Now both opposition parties Congress, CPI-M are in demand that state govt must resolve the 10323 teachers problems.

On 31st May BJP Law Minister cum Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath announcing BJP Govt's next step for 10323 teachers said, “As you know on 30th June 2018, Supreme Court led terminated 10323 teachers' jobs tenure will be ended on ad hoc basis, thus the State Govt has decided to appeal the Supreme Court to give more relaxation for the teachers so that they can continue their jobs at least till 2020”. 

The 10323 teachers who were terminated with Supreme Court’s final verdict are going to lose their jobs after 30th June 2018 as after 31st December their jobs were increased on ad-hoc basis for more 6 months but that tenure also is going to end on June 30th. 10,323 teachers' jobs were first cancelled by Tripura High Court in 2014 on May 7 after spotting irregularities in the recruitment process, before the issue was taken to Supreme Court by the the CPI-M Govt. 

A division bench of the high court, comprising Chief Justice Deepak Gupta and Justice Swapan Chandra Das, had passed then order May 7, 2014 terminating the jobs of 10,323 school teachers after Dec 31, citing irregularities in recruitment and SC has upheld High Court's 2014 verdict.

On March 29, 2017, the Supreme Court also held High Court's order and terminated the teachers. Supreme Court in a humanaitarian gesture to 10323 teachers mentioned that the teachers will continue their jobs till 2017, 31st Dec.

Later with the request of Tripura Govt, the Supreme Court added 6 months of ad hoc basis jobs for the teachers which will be end on June 30, 2018.
