SECRETARY, SREE UJJINI, J.S.V.V.SANGHA vs R.H.M. CHANNABASAVA SWAMY

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to remit the matter for further inquiry regarding the termination of a teacher's service, emphasizing that the prior termination lacked a valid inquiry as required by law. The Court modified the order by allowing a retired District Judge to act as the Inquiry Officer instead of forming a new committee, and directed that the teacher be treated as under suspension pending the inquiry. The appeal was dismissed without costs, affirming the need for proper procedural adherence in employment termination cases.
