Vishwa Mohini vs Dist.Insp.Of Schools 2Nd & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, an Assistant Teacher appointed on an ad hoc basis, was entitled to salary for the period she worked despite her appointment not being approved by the District Inspector of Schools. The Court found that the management's short-term appointment was invalid after a substantive vacancy arose due to the retirement of the previous teacher. The impugned order of the High Court was set aside, directing the respondents to pay the appellant's salary within eight weeks, with the right to recover the amount from the school management.
