Khandesh College Education & Anr vs Arjun Hari Narkhede & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of Lecturers/Demonstrators at Moolji Jeitha College for earned leave encashment upon retirement, referencing Statutes 424(3) and 424(C) of the University of Pune and Section 115(xii) of the Maharashtra Universities Act, 1994. The Court upheld the Bombay High Court's ruling that the lecturers were entitled to encashment of their unutilized earned leave, affirming the applicability of the University Statutes. Consequently, the petitions by Khandesh College Education Society were dismissed, confirming the rights of the respondents to their claimed benefits.
