Delhi High Court
23.11.2021
On 23.11.2021, the Hon’ble Delhi High Court directed the Gurusharan Convent School, GH-9 Block, Near
Telephone Exchange, PaschimVihar, Delhi-110087, not to terminate the services
of 11 teachers, who had filed a writ petition [W.P. (C) No. 11619/2021, entitled ‘Mini
Monterio & Ors. Vs. Gurusharan Convent School & Ors.’] seeking revision of their salary
as
per 7th CPC.
The teachers of all private
schools, including the minority schools, in Delhi, are entitled to receive
salary equal, or more, than the salary paid to their counterparts in the Government
run schools. The said benefit was, however, denied to the 14 teachers by the Gurusharan Convent School.
Above all, the salary of these 14 teachers was drastically reduced during the covid
period. Being aggrieved, on
06.10.2021, the teachers filed a writ petition before
the Hon’ble Delhi High Court seeking revision of their salary as per 7th
CPC.
In order to victimize the teachers,
the school terminated the services of 3 teachers, who were petitioners in the
aforesaid writ petition, immediately after filing of the writ petition. The
remaining 11 teachers preferred an application [C.M. No. 41443/2021] thereby
seeking stay of their apprehended termination from service. Vide Order dated
23.11.2021, Hon’ble Mr. Justice V. Kameswar Rao, Delhi High Court, directed the
school to not to terminate the services of the 11 teachers.
The writ petition is now listed
for hearing on 22.03.2022.
