AGARTALA, Oct 11 (TIWN): Communist Party of India (CPI-M) has demanded immediate solution of the 10323 teachers issue who are going to be terminated soon by 2020.

In a media address, CPI-M convenor Bijan Dhar asked the Govt to utilize CPI-M Govt’s initiative to recruit 12000 non-teaching staffs where the 10323 teachers may apply.

Recently the 10323 ad-hoc teachers, who were terminated by Supreme Court of India due to massive irregularities spotted in the recruitment, had filed a case in the High Court in plea of restoration of their jobs with various legal points, added points of all the then recruitment must be cancelled which were done during 10323 teachers recruitment. 

Tripura High Court division bench Chief Justice Sanjay Karol and Justice Arindam Lodh dismissed the plea. In the judgment it was written, “Instant petitioners seeking review of judgement which is not permissible in law and more so on the doctrine of merger. We hasten to add that the issues stand decided only as the Hon’ble Supreme Court granted liberty allowing the instant petitioners to agitate the same before us”. The court further stated, “State is duty bound, under the constitution, to see proper and effective implementation of the judgment rendered by the Apex Court. In view of above discussion, the present bunch of instant writ petitions, being an abuse of process of law and speculative in nature, stand dismissed”.

Earlier, 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.
