The Supreme Court<\/a> today has issued notice and stayed the Calcutta High Court <\/a>order by which it had directed the School Education Department, West Bengal to make payment of salaries to part-time teachers equal to basic pay in scale of pay of regular teacher working in Higher Secondary Section in a non\u2013government Aided Higher Secondary School with effect from 28th July 2010 i.e the date of order till 24.12.2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A two-judge bench of Justice S. Abdul Nazeer and Justice Krishna Murari heard the plea of School Education Department, West Bengal and issued notice. Senior Advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, who appeared for the State of West Bengal, submitted before the bench that part-time teacher appointed through committee from management. Further, he submitted that teachers were seeking larger relief claiming that they have not been regularised. All findings are in my favour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dwivedi\u2013”My Lord, kindly stay the impugned Judgment of the High Court.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bench stayed the impugned judgment of Calcutta High Court<\/a>. The School Education Department, West Bengal moved the apex court against the modification order passed by the Division Bench of High Court of Calcutta, wherein it was directed for them to make payment of salaries equal to basic pay in scale of pay of regular teacher working in Higher Secondary Section in a non\u2013government Aided Higher Secondary School with effect from July 28, 2010 i.e the date of order till 24.12.2013. The said Government order restrained any further appointment of any new part-time teachers on contract basis in non-government aided higher secondary school with effect from 1st April, 2007. The arrear salary shall be paid positively within four weeks from date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The learned Single Judge of High court of Calcutta Bench held that the writ petitioners qua teachers cannot be treated as separate and distinct class or said to be claiming benefits for a scale of duties which is outside the post and profile of the teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
