Implement HC verdict: Lecturers

The Himachal Pradesh School Lecturers’ Association has urged the government to withdraw its SLP filed in the High Court against the decision pertaining to pension. Organisation secretary Rajan Sharma said the High Court had given the decision to give pension to contractual lectures appointed before 2003, but the decision had not been implemented yet. On the contrary, he said, the government filed an SLP in the court against this decision. The representatives of the lecturers’ union termed the government action as unfortunate and appealed to the Chief Minister to implement the verdict.
