The ruling Left Front in Tripura today expressed happiness over the Supreme Court's directive enforcing stay on a verdict of High Court to terminate jobs of 10,323 serving Under-Graduate, Graduate and Post-Graduate teachers within December 31 this year.
State Education Minister Tapan Chakraborty said the deadline for termination of all 10,323 teachers set on December 31, 2014 by the High Court caused confusion which forced the state to file an interlocutory application before the Supreme Court seeking clarification on the status of termination deadline.
"We are happy that the interlocutory application that was heard today by a Division Bench of Justice Jagdish Singh Khehr and Justice Arun Mishra imposed stay on the termination deadline pending final judgement from the court," Chakroborty told reporters here today.
The state had filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) against the verdict of the High Court on June 10 earlier this year challenging the previous HC verdict which said it was the High Court's prerogative to cancel the state government's employment policy and terminate all teachers recruited since 2010 following the said norms.
The state's ruling Left inducted 1,100 postgraduate, 4,617 graduate and 4,606 under-graduate teachers in three phases since March 2010.
