Ramakrishna Vivekananda Mission vs State Of West Bengal & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of appeals by the Ramakrishna Vivekananda Mission regarding the termination of two teachers, Swapan Panda and Tapan Negoi, who refused to perform hostel duties. The Court interpreted the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education Act, 1963, particularly Sections 18, 22, and 27, affirming the authority of the Appeal Committee to decide on such matters. The Court concluded that the teachers' claims of being 'approved teachers' did not exempt them from the terms of service, thereby affirming the High Court's decision.
