IHC dismisses 12 petitions of deputation teachers

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday dismissed 12 petitions of deputation teachers seeking confirmation in federal capital’s educational institutions. IHC Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb heard 32 petitions moved by teachers who had come on deputation from provinces and now wanted to stay in the capital permanently.

Out of the 32 petitions, Justice Aurangzeb rejected 12. These teachers will have to go back to their mother institutions. The court, however, postponed its decisions on remaining 20 petitions till next date.

At least 80 teachers had filed petitions at IHC seeking court order for their merger in federal capital educational institutions as they had completed more than five years here on deputation. The Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) has started sending repatriation letters to deputationists.
