Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Gujarat Primary Education Tribunal's order reinstating the teachers, emphasizing that their termination was unjustified. The Court noted that the teachers were entitled to salary and benefits as per government rules despite being untrained, as their termination did not follow due process. The appeal by the Shantiniketan Educational Trust was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's decision under Article 30 of the Constitution, which protects minority educational institutions but does not exempt them from adhering to fair employment practices.
