Govt. Of A.P. & Ors vs K. Brahmanandam & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the liability for payment of wages to Secondary Grade Teachers appointed by a minority educational institution under the Andhra Pradesh Education Act, 1982. The Court held that the institution failed to comply with recruitment rules as per G.O.Ms. No. 1 dated 1.01.1994, specifically not obtaining prior permission from the District Educational Officer or advertising vacancies as mandated by Rule 12 of the Rules. Consequently, the Court ruled that the State is not liable to pay the salaries of the respondents, affirming the High Court's decision.
