Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appointment of the writ petitioner as a primary teacher was invalid due to non-compliance with statutory rules, specifically the requirement for approval from the Directorate of Education as per the West Bengal Primary Education Act. The Court emphasized that the Managing Committee lacked authority to appoint without following the prescribed procedures, thus upholding the findings of the West Bengal Board of Primary Education. The Court ultimately ruled against the regularization of the writ petitioner's appointment, affirming the decision of the Board and the High Court's order was set aside.
