Punjab and Haryana High Court Orders Regularisation of Long-Serving Contract Teachers with Conditions
The Punjab and Haryana High Court upheld a ruling requiring Panjab University to regularise contract teachers serving over 10 years, subject to satisfactory work and conduct. The court modified earlier orders, allowing claims from those nearing the 10-year mark. Panjab University had challenged the appointments citing procedural issues but the court noted these were temporary posts filled through advertised selections. Separately, contract faculty at Punjabi University protested for implementation of UGC pay scales and court judgments, highlighting ongoing demands for recognition and benefits.
