Here's a quick rundown: The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court decided that Rajah's Higher Secondary School can hire a new computer teacher after the previous one retired. The government had previously said no because they got rid of the position. But the court stepped in and said the school can go ahead and fill the vacancy.
Rajah's Higher Secondary School needed to fill an open spot for a Computer Vocational Instructor. The previous teacher retired, and the school wanted to hire P. Sasikala for the job. But the State of Tamil Nadu said no because they had eliminated the position.
Judge Abdul Quddhose looked at a similar situation from before. In that case, the court allowed another school to fill open teaching spots. The reasoning was that schools should be able to replace teachers who retire, especially if the position was previously approved.
"Once the job of Vocational Instructor is an approved position, for any Non-Minority Institution, they cannot be stopped from finding a replacement for that job."
The court decided in favor of Rajah's Higher Secondary School. The orders from the government that stopped the hiring were canceled. The school was told to submit a new plan to hire P. Sasikala, and the government has to approve it within twelve weeks.
The school must send a new plan to the Chief Educational Officer. The government then needs to approve Sasikala's appointment, and she can start working from the date she was originally supposed to start.
This decision is a win for the school and ensures that students will have a computer instructor soon.
