Dav College Managing Committee vs Surender Rana & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi School Tribunal which set aside the removal of the first respondent, a Store Keeper, on the grounds that the appellant, a non-minority school, failed to obtain prior approval from the Director of Education as mandated by the second proviso to Rule 105(1) of the Delhi School Education Rules, 1973. The Court affirmed that termination of an employee on probation in such institutions requires adherence to this procedural requirement. Consequently, the appeal by the appellant was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
