The Calcutta High Court set aside the earlier order that removed 32,000 primary school teachers in West Bengal, saying irregularities were found in only a few cases. The ruling protects teachers’ jobs after nine years of service.
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.
