Non-bailable warrants against the secretary and upper secretary of the Maharashtra government’s education department were issued by the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court for not complying with the court’s orders pertaining to the payment of salaries and arrears of teachers.
A division bench of Justices Prithviraj Chavan and Urmila Joshi-Phalke on Wednesday heard a petition filed by Chitra Mehar, seeking action for contempt of court against the officials for not complying with its orders.
Lawyer Anand Parchure, representing Ms. Mehar in the matter, informed the court that the teachers appointed by the Maharashtra government to teach children with disabilities were not being paid salaries as per the pay scale for ‘skilled teachers’.
