Judgment text excerpt
The appeal concerns the disciplinary action taken by a school management committee against a P.G. Assistant for unsatisfactory performance, irregular attendance, and unauthorized absence. The management contended that the employee's failure to attend school and complete the syllabus caused grave hardship to students. The court examines whether the disciplinary proceedings and subsequent termination were justified based on the employee's conduct and failure to meet qualifying language requirements.
