The High Court of Karnataka has suggested that the State government should not resort to contract system through outsourced agencies by a process of inviting tender to appoint school teachers but endeavour to continue its effort of recruitment of teachers in terms of the cadre and recruitment rules.
Justice M. Nagaprasanna made these observations while disposing of the petitions filed by hundreds of teachers, who are working in various residential schools run by the State government, seeking regularisation of their services.
Though the court did not find merit in the petitions filed by Ashwiniraj R. and others for regularisation for their jobs, it has expressed concern about the practice of appointing teachers in residential schools through outsourced agencies by calling tenders by the Karnataka Residential Educational Institutions Society, which is created by the government.
