The court declared the existing employment policy of the state government, which has been followed since 1980, null and void.
In the existing employment system, 30% jobs are given on the basis of need and 70% on the basis of merit and no written tests are conducted.
The high court had termed the policy 'unconstitutional and illegal' and had issued a 19-point guideline for a new employment policy for the state within the next two months.
After that Tripura Government appealed to the Supreme Court to take proper action on the termination issue of the teachers.
However, uncertainty looms large over the fate of the 10,323 teachers as the fate of these teachers are stuck upon the judgement of the Supreme Court.
After prolonging for several months also the case has not been solved yet. Every time the case has been produced before the court, it gets delayed every time. The delay in the judgement leads to uncertainty over the fate of 10, 323 teachers. Everyone is now looking forward to the decision of the apex court in the mid of January.
