Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether teachers appointed on an honorarium basis in Uttar Pradesh should be terminated upon the availability of selectees from the U.P. Higher Education Services Commission. The Court held that while the management can terminate honorarium teachers when selectees are available, the High Court's prior order to terminate all such appointments without notice was improper. The Court set aside the High Court's sweeping direction and directed a reconsideration of the matter, ensuring affected parties are heard, in accordance with the principles of natural justice.
