UP SHIKSHA & EDUCATION BOARD vs RAJENDER PRASAD GUPTA

The Supreme Court held that the termination of an untrained teacher's service without following the prescribed procedure was illegal. The Court emphasized that the respondent had multiple opportunities to undergo training but failed to do so, and thus the discontinuation of service was justified. The Court overturned the High Court's order for reinstatement, affirming that the appellant acted within its rights under the service rules, as per the principles of service law.
