Decision: In the Hon'ble High Court's order dtd. 10.07.2018 passed in WA/304/2014 (Jyoti Baruah & 8 Ors. Vs. SoA) it is stated that "For all the discussions and findings above, we hold that the appellants were not given a fair deal and were taken out of service illegally. They have been discriminated against, more so when peers directly from the same stock as the appellants have since been regularized/adjusted in their service with grant of regular pay. From the facts in its entirety, it is seen that the State respondents have not only acted unfairly but have also demonstrated lack of due application of mind in creating grounds for termination when there was none, particularly, having regard to the findings of the Court, as discussed above. We, accordingly, set aside the termination order dated 2.11.2010, issued by the DEE, Assam, as well as the judgment and order under appeal dated 7.8.2014 passed in WP(C) 6071/2010, save and except the order/direction for making payment of salaries to the appellants for the period they worked. We direct the State respondents to forthwith take back the appellants into their service as Assistant Teachers in their respective schools by passing necessary orders. Wemakenoorder for payment of back-wages as there are no pleadings that the appellants had not been gainfully employed since the period after termination from service. However, it is ordered that the period wit out duty shall not be considered as break-in-service and the said period shall count for the purpose of service benefits, including retirement benefits",
