Madhya Pradesh Court Dismisses Teachers' Seniority Petitions
Teachers in Madhya Pradesh who moved from the Tribal Welfare Department to the School Education Department went to court because they wanted to keep their previous job experience and seniority.
The court said they didn't ask for clarification about how their old jobs would count.
Because they didn't, the court said it couldn't help them.
They lost their seniority when they moved to the new department because they had to resign and reapply.
Teachers from the Tribal Welfare Department petitioned the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
The teachers sought to retain their seniority and experience.
The court dismissed the petitions in Jabalpur.
The court stated teachers did not seek clarification or modification.
Teachers were treated as fresh appointees after resignation.
