The Court declined to interfere with the government’s policy decision at this stage.
The Supreme Court allowed 700 teachers terminated by the Tripura government to challenge their dismissal in the High Court due to alleged unlawful and unconstitutional termination orders. Advocates alleged a massive scam, involving ongoing salary disbursements and misappropriation. The decision provides an opportunity to address the situation and challenge the government’s actions.
