Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Bombay High Court's order dated 20th February 2008, which had denied the appellant-Management's request for a stay on the School Tribunal's directive to reinstate the respondent-teacher. The Court emphasized that when an injunction is denied, the reasons must be recorded, and failure to grant a stay could render the writ petition infructuous, causing irreparable loss to the appellant. The Court directed that the ad-interim injunction from 19th June 2006 remain in effect until the writ petition is resolved, urging expedited proceedings due to the implications for the teacher's career.
