Laxman Dundappa Dhamanekar & Anr vs Mngt. Of Vishwa Bharata Seva Samiti & Anr

The Supreme Court held that under the Karnataka Private Educational Institutions (Discipline and Control) Act, 1975, the appointments of the appellants as Assistant Teachers were valid despite the Management's claim of automatic termination due to absence. The Court established that the absence of an approval requirement for appointments under the Act meant that the appellants' probationary status converted to regular employment upon completion of the probation period. Consequently, the Court upheld the Tribunal's order for reinstatement of the appellants, ruling that the Management's actions were illegal and arbitrary.
