The Bombay High Court has temporarily stayed the assignment of private and minority school teachers in Maharashtra to census duties. Over 400 teachers across Mumbai, Pune, Pimpri Chinchwad, Koparkhairane, and Vasai had been assigned as enumerators and supervisors. School representatives argued that such duties disrupted academic schedules.

Mumbai: Teachers working in private unaided and minority schools across Maharashtra have expressed relief after the Bombay High Court temporarily stayed the appointment of school staff for census-related duties.

A total of 133 teachers in Mumbai, 75 from a school in Koparkhairane, 55 from Pimpri Chinchwad, 148 in Pune, and 52 in Vasai had been assigned to census operations.

“The case was followed by show-cause notices and FIRs against teachers from private schools. The appointments affected regular academic activities in schools,” said Rohan Bhat, a co-petitioner in the case.
