HC directs to appoint teachers in Bihar varsities

Bihar Government and the Chancellor's secretariat to ensure 3000 vacant posts of teachers are filled within 90 days

PTI | July 8, 2011



Patna High Court has asked Bihar Government and the Chancellor's secretariat to take steps to fill up all vacant posts of teachers in various universities in the state within 90 days.

A division bench comprising Justices Prakash Chandra Verma and Ahsanuddin Amanullah directed the secretariat of the Chancellor, who is also governor of Bihar, and the state human resource department to make the appointments.

The court acted on a PIL filed by one Vinay Kumar Singh who had pleaded for the court's direction to fill up over 3000 vacant posts of teaching staff in all the universities of Bihar in three months.

The petitioner in his PIL filed in January last year, had alleged that the present crisis of teaching staff in various varsities of the state was because of bureaucratic red tape.
