State Of Assam – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
(Suman Shyam, J)
Introduction :-
This batch of writ petitions instituted by several Venture Educational Institutions, individual as well as groups of teaching and non-teaching staffs of Venture Educational Institutions from the State of Assam, lay challenge to several provisions of “The Assam Education (Provincialisation of Services of Teachers and Re-organisation of Educational Institutions) Act, 2017” (hereinafter referred to as “the Act of 2017”) as well as the provisions of “The Assam Education (Provincialisation of Services of Teachers and Re-organisation of Educational Institutions) (Amendment) Act, 2018” (here-in-after referred to as the Amendment Act of 2018). The writ petitioners are basically aggrieved due to failure on the part of the State Government of Assam to provincialise their services. Since the vires of the Act of 2017 as well as the Amendment Act of 2018 are under challenge in these writ petitions, hence, by the order dated 27/04/2023 passed in W.P.(c) 2729/2019 and the batch of connected writ petitions, all these 80 writ petitions were bunched together and posted for analogous hearing. During the course of hearing, for the sake of convenience, these wri
