The writ petition was disposed of by High Court with a direction, “With the above said directions, the writ petition stands disposed of by setting aside part of instructions contained in 2005 circular granting general permission/ authority to officials of Education Department and Medical Education Department to grant permission to all teachers and doctors respectively to engage themselves by way of self-employment in private coaching centres two hours before opening of school and two hours after closing of school and private practice by doctors”.
In compliance with high court directions, the School Education Department had vide a circular in 2012 rescinded part of instructions of 2005, pertaining to accord of general permission to teachers to engage themselves by way of self employment in private coaching centres two hours before opening of schools and two hours after closing of schools.
The State Government had, however, filed SLP in Supreme Court against the judgement of the State High Court in 2011. The Supreme Court in its interim order had passed the direction “in the meantime, the operation of the impugned judgement shall remain stayed”.
