Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that under Section 114A of the Delhi School Education Act, 1973, a resignation from a recognized school must be accepted within thirty days with the approval of the Director of Education. The Court held that the resignation of the first respondent was validly accepted by the school as no approval was received within the stipulated time, allowing the school to proceed with recruitment. The judgment affirmed the procedural requirements for resignation acceptance in educational institutions governed by the Act.
