Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the State of West Bengal to consider the regularization of Piyu Datta, who has served as a teacher for nearly 19 years without regularization, within three months. The Court set aside the Calcutta High Court's order that had allowed the respondents' appeal, emphasizing the need for adherence to rules regarding regularization in light of the appellant's long service. The judgment underscores the importance of fair employment practices in the education sector.
