Supreme Court postpones ruling on teachers pay dispute till next week
22nd September, 2015
The supreme court today heard the case by teachers seeking to block the 50-60% payrise directive issued by the industrial court. But lawyers representing the teachers unions sought to have the entire case dismissed, protesting that in his statement, the President had already passed a verdict on the case. The heated session also saw the lawyers arguing that the executive is influencing both the courts and the SRC’s decisions on the matter.
