Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that a teacher whose services were terminated for lack of requisite qualifications could appeal to the Delhi School Tribunal under Section 11 of the Delhi School Education Act, 1973. The Court interpreted Section 8(3) of the Act, clarifying that the absence of the term 'otherwise termination' in the subsection does not exclude such cases from the Tribunal's jurisdiction. The Court emphasized that the Tribunal serves as an essential remedy for teachers against arbitrary termination, thus allowing the appeal to proceed.
