AGARTALA, September 13 (TIWN): Trinamool Congress leader and veteran lawyer Arun Chandra Bhowmik today said that the Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed in the Supreme Court against a verdict of the High Court of Tripura terminating 10,323 jobs of Graduate, Post Graduate and Under Graduate Teachers starting December, 2014.

 Addressing the media at his residence in Agartala here today, Advocate Bhowmik said that the Supreme Court couldn’t hear the SLP challenging the High Court verdict of cancelling the entire recruitment process of 10,323 teachers’ jobs since no lawyer turned up in favour of the respondents. 

Three separate SLPs are currently under trial at the Supreme Court in connection with the Tripura High Court verdict terminating jobs of 10,323 Graduate, Under Graduate and Post Graduate Teachers.

“Ii is very unfortunate that the hearing of the SLP was not taken up in the SC when Abhishek Manu Singhvi is moving the case in the Supreme Court. Congress is spreading such rumors just to create confusion among the people,” Bhowmik aid.

The first SLP against the Tripura High Court order was admitted in the Supreme Court on May 7.

A division bench of Supreme Court led by Justice Jagdish Singh Kher and Justice Arun Mishra postponed the hearing yesterday.

A Division Bench of High Court led by Chief Justice Deepak Gupta and Justice SC Das ordered the cancellation of jobs of Under Graduate, Graduate and Post Graduate Teachers. The state government inducted 1,100 post graduates, 4,617 graduate and 4,606 under-graduate teachers in three phases since March 2010.
