As many as 10,323 school teachers were terminated following a faulty recruitment process according to an order of the Tripura High Court in 2014.
All these teachers were appointed in different phases since 2010.
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court order in 2017 after hearing Special Leave Petitions (SLP) filed by the former Left Front government and the sacked teachers.
Many of the teachers got alternative jobs in different departments and over 8,000 teachers were re-inducted on an ad-hoc basis till March 2020.
Since then, they have been rendered jobless.
