Significant developments are expected today in the long-standing principal promotion case in Chhattisgarh. The hearing for the petition WPS 3997/2025 — Narayan Prakash Tiwari versus Chhattisgarh Government, at the Bilaspur High Court, was initially set for this morning. However, the petitioner’s lawyer was unable to attend. Representatives from the Principal Promotion Forum, Alok Bakshi and Rahul Jha, were present and asked for a re-hearing. Justice Ravindra Kumar Agarwal has scheduled the case for final disposal at 4 PM today. The case has been moved up the list, suggesting an emphasis on resolution. A positive outcome could allow the government to proceed with principal appointments. This affects many senior lecturers. The petition deals with disputes regarding principal promotions. The 4 PM hearing is critical for determining the future of principal promotions.
