The Supreme Court today quashed a Gauhati High Court order thus paving the way for the recruitment of more than 95,000 school teachers in the state. The High Court, in its January 25 ruling, had allowed recruitment of 12800 teachers in lower and upper primary schools.

"The Assam Government appealed before the apex court and said that the around 95000 posts are lying vacant of which 28000 can be recruited now," said Education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The apex court stayed the High Court order contending that the limit will cause difficulties in the running of schools.
