Ms M Bordoloi, learned Stan ding Counsel, Bodoland Territorial Council(hereafter for short referred to as th e ’Council’) is also heard. Having regard to the relief prayed for, this petition is being disposed of at the motion stage itself. The petitioners who claim to be serving as Assistant Teachers in various schools located within the territorial limits of the Council are before this Co urt being apprehensive of the termination of their services. They have admitted that meanwhile show cause notices have been issued t o them seeking their response thereto and explanations as well, as to why their services would not be terminated on the ground enumerated therein. The petition ers have also in the meantime, submitted their replies which as on date are pen ding consideration. In the above view of the matter, as the decision of the Council on the replies submitted by the petitioners is awaited, this Court is not inclined to exercise its power of judicial review to intervene at this stage. It is made clear that this Court’s disinclination ought not to be viewed as a rejection of the petitioners’ stand taken in their replies and the Council would be obliged in law to consider and decide the same on merits. Needless to say that ,any d ecision so taken by the Council would be communicated to the petitioners in wri ting forthwith. The petition stands closed in the above terms. No costs.
