Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, affirming that the State could not deny payment of arrears of grant-in-aid to the respondent-school based on Andhra Pradesh Act 34/95, which attempted to retrospectively nullify the High Court's judgment. The Court emphasized that legislative action cannot override judicial decisions, particularly when it concerns the rights established under the Andhra Pradesh Education Act, 1982, specifically Sections 42-46. The appeal by the State was dismissed, reinforcing the principle of separation of powers.
