The Supreme Court of India dismissed a petition by around 350 teachers and non-teaching staff of recognised madrasas in West Bengal seeking salaries under the state’s grant-in-aid scheme. The Court declined to grant the relief sought by the petitioners.
The Delhi High Court has directed the Delhi government to release funds within a week for paying the salaries of staff at twelve state-funded colleges under Delhi University. Failure to comply may lead to contempt charges against senior government officials. The court emphasized the urgency and warned of consequences for non-compliance.
