YUNUS ALI SHA vs MOHD. ABDUL KALAM

The Supreme Court held that the Orissa Education Act, 1969, specifically Section 10-A, does not apply to minority educational institutions, as per Section 2 of the Orissa Education Act, 1959, which protects the rights of minorities under Article 30(1) of the Constitution. The Court ruled that the termination of the respondents' services was invalid due to lack of necessary approval from the Director of Education, which is not required for minority institutions. Consequently, the High Court's order for reinstatement and compensation was upheld.
