Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the suspension of Smt. Santosh Upadhyay, an Assistant Teacher, based on her acts of indiscipline as outlined in the show-cause notice and subsequent suspension order. The Court emphasized that the management of a minority institution has the authority to maintain discipline and that the teacher's refusal to comply with instructions constituted valid grounds for suspension. The Court found no violation of Article 21, affirming the High Court's decision to dismiss the writ petition challenging the suspension.
