Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court emphasized the critical importance of teacher training and adherence to legal norms in educational institutions, referencing multiple precedents including Ahmedabad St. Xavier’s College Society v. State of Gujarat and Adarsh Shiksha Mahavidyalaya v. Subhash Rahangdale. The Court held that deviations from established regulations by educational institutions cannot be justified by financial constraints or sympathy for students. Consequently, the High Court's decision to grant relief to the respondent institution was deemed impermissible, reinforcing the necessity for compliance with statutory requirements.
