2026 INSC 462
📌 Paras 1-3
Appellants, para-teachers engaged under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) in Jharkhand, appealed against the High Court's dismissal of their petitions. They sought regularization as Assistant Teachers, appointment to vacant posts, and pay parity, challenging the Jharkhand Primary School Recruitment Rules, 2012. The para-teachers argued they performed duties similar to regular teachers but received meager honorariums, despite acquiring necessary qualifications. The State contended that para-teacher engagement was contractual and co-terminus with the SSA, not conferring a right to absorption, though the 2012 Rules provided a 50% quota for eligible para-teachers in direct recruitment.
