The Meghalaya High Court has directed the state government to correct the contributory provident fund (CPF) with retrospective effect within 3 months failing which it will have to pay pension to all deficit college teachers in the state as per rules.
A division bench, comprising Chief Justice Mohammad Yaqoob Mir and Justice SR Sen on Thursday asked the state government to comply with the various directions in letter and spirit within three months while disposing of two petitions filed by the Meghalaya College Teachers Association.
In the judgment, the bench said, "In case the government fails to correct the contributory provident fund and other directions, they will have to pay pension to government deficit/ad-hoc/aided college teachers and staff as per pension rules applicable to government college teachers and staffs."
