Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the employment of the Respondent No.1, Shri Bir Bahadur Singh Rathour, was governed by the Delhi School Education Act, 1973, and not solely by the internal rules of the Samiti. The Court emphasized that the conditions of service outlined in the appointment letter, particularly Condition No.15, provided the Samiti with the right to terminate employment in accordance with the law. The Court upheld the dismissal of the writ petition challenging the transfer and suspension orders, affirming the authority of the Samiti under the relevant statutes.
