Sub:Regularization of ad-hoc teachers as per the High Court Order of 11 July 2025
Greetings on Independence Day!
We write to you to express our concern that the University has not taken any steps to implement the High Court Order in favour of the regularization of two ad-hoc teachers of the Department of Germanic and Romance Studies, Delhi University. It has been more than a month since the Judgement of 11 July ruled in favour of serving ad-hoc teachers and the University should have convened a meeting of the Executive Council to discuss the modalities of its implementation not only in the Department of Germanic & Romance Studies but also in other colleges where there are large numbers of ad-hoc teachers.
We urge you to bring this matter for discussion in the Executive Council on an urgent basis and:
- Formulate an Ordinance to implement the High Court Judgement for the regularization of these two teachers.
- Take a reasoned decision in the spirit of the judgement to extend the relief to all the other ad-hoc teachers in the same Department as well as in the colleges of Delhi University.
- Extend the spirit of the judgement to regularize displaced ad-hoc teachers against open vacancies.
- Regularize all non-teaching employees working on contractual basis.
Further, we also wish to draw your attention to the recent landmark Supreme Court order, passed on 20 December 2024 known as Jaggo, that while ordering regularization recognized the denial of long-term benefits such as continuity of service for in-service and post-retiral benefits to employees working on temporary basis. In the light of the above, we also urge you to ensure the counting of past service of all teachers towards all stages of promotion and retirement benefits.
Yours sincerely,
Rajib Ray, President
Abha Dev Habib, Secretary
