AGARTALA, Dec 12 (TIWN): After the Supreme Court on Monday, comprising Justices Adarsh Kumar Goel and Uday Umesh Lalit, postponed the hearing after clubbing the three cases together, some local channels have allegedly reporting wrong information saying that ‘No case was filed by the terminate teachers regarding Job-Extension’. However, SC’s website’s case diaries have clearly shown that on 22-11-2017 the cases were filed on job-extension of the terminated teachers and SC on Monday has confirmed the next hearing date on December 14, 2017. It may be positive or negative but nothing can be said before the final judgment.The 3 cases : 37795 / 2017, 377798/ 2017, 39674/ 2017 representing GT, PGT and Primary teachers will get the final judgment on Thursday.The Supreme Court on Monday deferred hearing in the case relating to 10,323 government teachers of Tripura, who are set to lose their jobs on December 31.

The Tripura government school teachers have demanded continuation of their jobs beyond December 31.

They have launched intermittent agitations, including road and railway line blockades in the state, from December 7 to press their demand. The Supreme Court deferred hearing of three cases related to the issue, including the state government petition on the services of 10,323 government teachers, to December 14, an education department official said here quoting the apex court directive.

The Supreme Court, comprising Justices Adarsh Kumar Goel and Uday Umesh Lalit, postponed the hearing after clubbing the three cases together.Education and Law Minister Tapan Chakraborty said the state government had filed a petition before the Supreme Court urging it to extend the termination deadline for one more year (beyond December 31).

The state government had also filed another petition - to vacate the stay on recruitment of 12,000 non-teaching staffs. The third case had been filed by two graduate teachers seeking review of the Supreme Court order passed on March 29.

In 2014 after some deprived youths filed a case against 2010’s teachers' recruitment and High Court had terminated the teachers following the illegal recruitment which was done, without following any merit.

The teachers’ lives still could  be saved by the CPI-M Govt as High Court had given an open option to the state govt saying that the jobs can be saved if the deprived youths are appointed in their respective posts, but due to Chief Minister Manik Sarkar’s arrogance the HC's verdict challenged in the Supreme Court by Tripura Govt but again on March 29, 2017 SC in the final hearing kept the HC’s verdict effective and fixed the last date of teachers jobs as Dec 31st, 2017.

Thus the terminated teachers had taken legal paths to save their career asking for  1 year’s job extension by the Supreme Court and on Thursday i.e. Dec 14, most likely teachers to get the final verdict whether the service can be extended or not.
