Sack order revised
Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay of Calcutta High Court said on Tuesday that the number of teachers of primary schools who stand to lose their jobs is 32,000, not 36,000.
Last Friday, he had cancelled the appointment of 36,000 teachers because he felt they did not have the required training. The modification followed a prayer by advocate Tarunjyoti Tiwari, who said the number of untrained or illegally appointed teachers was 27,414. But the judge, after going through documents, said 32,000 teachers in government-aided primary schools would lose their jobs.
