A two-judge panel of the Telangana High Court, comprising Chief Justice Ujjal Bhuyyan and Justice S Nanda, on Wednesday took on record the statement of the State government that it would ensure payment of salary of 12 months to teaching and non-teaching staff of the residential educational institutions in the State. The statement was made by the government pleader for Education. It was made in the course of an appeal filed by the government against
an order of a single judge.
The single-judge had allowed a writ petition which complained that the staff were on a contract basis and therefore were being paid only for 10 months as against the entire year. The panel made clear that the 12 months for the present year will be made and the government will await adjudication on the matter for the next academic year.
