Mr. Vishal Jolly, National Executive Member, BJP & Former State President, BJP-ANI wrote a letter to the Chief Secretary, A & N Administration for implementation of Judgment delivered by the Hon’ble Calcutta High Court, Circuit Bench at Port Blair, in WP.CT/26/2022 in Liton Baroi & others –Vs- The Union of India & Others. 

In his letter he placed the following points for consideration and positive necessary implementation: 

  1. The Primary School Teachers, as per the select list published on 17th December 2018, including the petitioners in the above-referred judgment passed by the Hon’ble Calcutta High Court have been fighting legal battle & struggling for several years and now the Hon’ble Calcutta High Court has delivered a well-considered judgment on merits, by evaluating all material facts & legal precedents. 
  1. He has gone through the judgment and after going though the same, he strongly believes that the same is abundantly clear and without any ambiguity or ground to prefer any appeal. 
  1. The Government of India led by Hon’ble Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi has been seriously advocating for filling up of all vacant posts at the earliest, considering the problem of unemployment. Due to pending litigations, filling of several vacant posts remain stagnated for years together.  
  1. Furthermore, the students at far-flung islands are suffering immensely due to acute shortage of teachers. Immediate appointment and posting of these petitioners would not only give a relief to these petitioners, but also put an end to the struggle of students studying in far-flung Islands.     

Concluding in his letter, he opined that there appears no reason for not implementing the said order and thus he most earnestly requested the Chief Secretary to kindly take a positive decision in favour of the all the selected candidates by giving them appointment letters & implement the Judgment passed by the Hon’ble Calcutta High Court in its true spirit & letter, in the interest of justice.
