BISWANATH BANARJEE vs STATE OF WEST BENGAL & ORS.

The Supreme Court examined the validity of the appellant's discharge from service under the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education Act, 1963, and the associated rules. It held that the appellant, who was appointed under the 1950 Act and continued under the 1963 Act, could not be discharged without following the due process as stipulated in the relevant regulations. The Court ruled that the provisions of the 1963 Act ensured continuity of service for existing employees, thus the discharge was unlawful.
