The teachers from Tripura moved to the top court saying their termination orders were being "unlawful and unconstitutional".

Around 700 undergraduate teachers from Tripura have approached the Supreme Court challenging their termination orders issued by the State in 2017 and 2020.

The teachers from Tripura moved to the top court saying their termination orders were being "unlawful and unconstitutional".

The petition said in 2014, a division bench of the High Court of Tripura had declared a certain Employment Policy, 2003 issued by the State government, "bad in law" and set aside the appointment of more than 10,000 teachers allegedly made thereunder, pursuant to which the petitioners were also terminated.
