Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Section 8(2) of the Delhi School Education Act, 1973, affirming that it applies to aided minority institutions, contrary to the Delhi High Court's ruling. The Court emphasized that the management of minority institutions must adhere to the provisions of the Act, including obtaining approval from the Director of Education before terminating an employee. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the appellant with all consequential benefits, thereby reversing the High Court's decision.
