Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision granting JBT teachers in privately managed aided schools in Haryana the same pay scales and privileges as their counterparts in government schools, citing the precedent in Haryana State Adhyapak Sangh vs. State of Haryana (1988) 4 SCC 571. The Court emphasized that teachers of aided schools are entitled to equal pay for equal work, regardless of their employment status. The appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
