Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court affirming the entitlement of a school to grant-in-aid arrears under the Andhra Pradesh Education Act, 1982, specifically Sections 42 and 46. The Court ruled that the retrospective application of Andhra Pradesh Act 34/95, which sought to deny such arrears, could not nullify the High Court's judgment. The appeal by the State of Andhra Pradesh was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that legislative actions cannot override judicial decisions.
