DISTRICT PRIMARY EDUCATION OFFICER vs VIDOTEJAK MANDAL

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of sub-rule (3) of Rule 115 of the Bombay Primary Education Act, 1949, concerning the grant-in-aid for non-teaching staff in primary schools. The Court held that the grant is not applicable to non-teaching staff such as clerks and peons, as clarified by the Director of Primary Education, who stated that grants are primarily for teaching staff. The Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's decision, affirming that no grants for non-teaching staff are provided under the current regulations.
