SHRI.ALOK DAS ARUL PRASANTH vs THE UNION OF INDIA AND ORS. — WP.CT/5/2026

Court Decision Summary The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the writ petition of Shri Alok Das, upholding the termination of his service as a Graduate Trained Teacher (GTT). The court found that Das was ineligible for the GTT position because he lacked three years of continuous service in the same cadre—his prior service as Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) was deemed fundamentally different in nature and could not satisfy the eligibility requirement under the Vacancy Notice. The court also rejected the argument that termination without a disciplinary inquiry violated natural justice, holding that since the dismissal was merely a recall of an ineligible appointment (non-punitive), no prior inquiry was required.
