Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order to withdraw relief granted to Smt. Jaya Devi, an Assistant Teacher, was improper as it was done in a separate proceeding where she was not a necessary party. The Court emphasized that judicial orders can only be reviewed following proper legal procedures, which were not adhered to in this case. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order affecting the appellant, thereby reinstating her benefits and salary for the period she worked.
