Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Bombay High Court's dismissal of a writ petition under Article 227 concerning the reinstatement of an Assistant Teacher under the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, 1977. The Court upheld the Maharashtra School Tribunal's finding that the respondent was appointed and had completed over two years of service, thus entitled to reinstatement. However, the Tribunal's decision to grant back wages only from the date of approaching the Tribunal was affirmed, as the respondent had not pursued the statutory remedy promptly.
