AGARTALA, November 16 (TIWN): " If our jobs of 10323 teachers are terminated within 31st December 2014 and if the state government fails to win the 10,323 teacher termination case, we are going to file a case against the state government according to the law", said President Tripura Government Fixed Pay Teachers Association Bimal Saha.

Speaking to the reporters at Red Lotus club,President Tripura Government Fixed Pay Teachers Association Bimal Saha said that we are not responsible for this only the state government is responsible for this. Because if state government implemented the new education policy as far the notification issued by the    Supreme Court in the year 2009. The present scenario could be different, he added.

It is to be mentioned here that the Supreme Court in the year 2009, issued a notification that in case of appointment of teachers new education policy should be implemented. As per the notification, Central Government had instructed the State Governments to take this policy in action. But the State Government of Tripura turned a deaf ear to this and still no education policy was implemented. On the other hand the job form for the interview of the undergraduate, graduate and post graduate teachers are called in the year 2002, 2003 and 2006. But the candidates were called for interview in between the year 2010-2013.During this gap, State Government if wishes can implement the new education policy. But travelling hither and there, no action had been taken by the state government. Inspite of that on a sudden decision, in the year 2013 on Christmas Day, the Cabinet decided to appoint 10,323 teachers in undergraduate, graduate and post graduate level.

But after that, the High Court had passed a jurisdiction mentioning the termination of the 10,323 teachers. In view of these, Government had also filed a case to save the fate of these teachers. In the first sitting, Court had decided to put a stay order in the employment policy and the guidelines of the High Court. But no stay order had been put on the tenure of the service.

The S.C also declared the next date of sitting on 25th September. But due to shortage of time, this was not possible. Again the date was declared as 27th October. But repetation occurs. This time the matter was not raised in the Supreme Court as all the respondents did not get notice from the Supreme Court and the reply from the respondents did not yet reach to the Registrar. Now after considering all facts the Registrar decided that the Hearing on this matter will be held on 9th January2015.

On the other hand, the Supreme Court Registrar has asked all the petitioners to submit their reply before the Supreme Court within four weeks. Renowned lawyer of the country Abhisekh Manu Singbhi is the Pradesh Congress appointed lawyer on behalf of the petitioners and unemployed youths who challenged the state govt's appointment.

Immediately state govt decided that it will submit an Interlocutory Appeal before the SC to give a stay order to the HCs judgment regarding termination of 10323 teachers’ jobs after 31st December 2014.

Now even the fortunate job seekers too have realized that the Supreme Court has issued a stay order only on the govt's recruitment policy, that was declared unconstitutional by the Division bench of Deepak Kumar Gupta. They have now also realized that by the name of challenging the case in the Supreme Court, CPI (M)'employees wings rather raised the party fund with Rs 10 crore by collecting donations (?) from those who jobs were terminated and other employees. . All are scared that if the Supreme Court says that the HCs judgment will remain unchanged; there will be serious breakdown in the law and order situation.
