Supreme Court Halts Teacher Appointments Under Assam Provincialisation Scheme
The Supreme Court has directed the Assam government to halt appointments and absorption of teachers under the provincialisation scheme, pending review of a PIL challenging its constitutional validity. Petitioners argue the scheme bypasses fair, transparent, and competitive recruitment, violating Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. The court issued notices to the Centre and Assam officials, emphasizing adherence to merit-based recruitment. The scheme involves the state assuming liabilities for salaries and benefits of teachers in venture educational institutions.
