Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Gujarat High Court, affirming the termination of the respondent's services as an Assistant Teacher due to non-compliance with the qualifications mandated by the Bombay Primary Education (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1986, specifically Clause (6) of Schedule F. The Court emphasized that the termination was valid as it adhered to the statutory requirements outlined in Section 40B of the Act, which necessitates a show cause notice and approval from statutory authorities prior to termination. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that adherence to statutory qualifications is essential for employment in educational institutions.
