DIMAPUR, JUNE 29 (MExN): The All Nagaland School Teacher’s Association (ANSTA) today questioned the Against Corruption and Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) Nagaland and the Public Service Aspirants of Nagaland (PSAN) with regard to the writ petition No.145(K)/2017 filed against alleged backdoor/illegal appointment of 706 posts in 35 state departments, the posts of which were supposed to be recruited though NPSC.
A press note from ANSTA President, Ponchulo Wanth and General Secretary, Visato Koso stated that the two organizations had during various meetings said that their writ petition has been filed against the NPSC requisitioned posts only. However, the ANSTA stated that as per the government, it is due to the ACAUT & PSAN court case and a subsequent interim court order that service regularization of 1166 adhoc teachers has been kept on pending since last year.
The ANSTA asked ACAUT and PSAN to clarify their stand on the case as to how it is affecting/ not affecting the regularization of adhoc teachers. “On one hand, the petitioners said their court case has not impleaded school teachers whereas on the other hand, Government is claiming that it cannot take up the matter since it is in the court,” it said.
If the case has no impact on regularization of school teachers (as repeatedly claimed by petitioners) then why don’t the petitioners make their stand clear publicly, the ANSTA questioned.
