AGARTALA, Sep 30 (TIWN): Recently the 10323 ad-hoc teachers had filed a case in the High Court in plea of restoration of their jobs with various legal points.

On Sep 2^nd the case was heard but no final verdict was given and the next data has been given on 30th September, 2019 i.e. today but today also due to absence of 165 teachers who filed petition the hearing has been postponed till tomorrow.

Earlier on September 2^nd, centering the hearing today massive tension erupted in the High Court area.

West Tripura District Magistrate Sandeep Mahatme had to order Section-144’s imposition on Monday at the 2 kilometer area of Tripura High Court area at the onset of hearing of the 10323 teachers case which was filed by the terminated 10323 teachers to save their jobs in a last attempt.

One Sajal Deb, who is among the 10,323 teachers said Govt’s decision of continuation of 10323 teachers jobs as ad-hoc is arbitrary. The petitioner claimed many teachers were appointed at the same time but their jobs were not cancelled.

According to Supreme Court’s order the 10323 tecahers of Tripura will lose their ad-hoc extension by 2020, June 31st. Since 2014, the terminated 10323 teachers have continued their battles for existence after Tripura High Court in 2014, 7th May terminated all the teachers spotting irregularities in recruitment. The situation started to be critical due to previous CPI-M Govt’s ego against petitioners and instead of providing them jobs according to High Court’s order, the Govt started the battle in Supreme Court and finally Supreme Court in 2017 held High Court’s decision. Now, this is the ultimate time when final decisions about 10323 teachers will be taken.

The 10323 teachers fist lost their jobs in High Court’s verdict in 2014 due to irregularities in recruitment. Then the previous CPI-M led State Sovt managed stay order on High Court’s order by appealing Supreme Court and after much delays in the hearings, finally Supreme Court also in 2017, March 29 terminated all the teachers but with humanitarian view Supreme Court permitted all the 10323 teachers to continue their jobs till December 31st, 2017.

When CPI-M led State Govt repealed in Supreme Court to extend their jobs for 1 year, Supreme Court extended the job for 6 months on ad hoc basis and finally only 27 days have left for the teachers final terminations. BJP Govt then appealed in Supreme Court to extend the teachers jobs beyond June 30, 2018 for more 2 years. BJP to urge Supreme Court to extend those teachers jobs till 2020, 30th June and SC also extended for 17 months to control the teachers’ crisis.
