    Case Summary: WP(C) 4387/2023 The Gauhati High Court dismissed a petition by Assistant Teacher Rahom Ali Ahmed challenging an Educational Tribunal's decision declaring respondent Md. Azahar Ali Ahmed as the senior-most Science Teacher and entitled to provincialization at Badla Rangapani High School. The court upheld the tribunal's application of the 2011 Act (rather than 2017 Act) based on vested rights doctrine, rejecting the petitioner's arguments regarding government sanction requirements and subject-combination criteria, and confirming that seniority in the category—not subject combination—determines provincialization eligibility.
