Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the order of the Education Appellate Tribunal directing the reinstatement of respondent No.1 as a Lecturer in Sri Basaveswara Junior College, citing the Tribunal's authority under the Karnataka Education Act. The Court affirmed that the termination of respondent No.1's services was illegal and improper, as he had been continuously employed since 1990 and was wrongfully denied his position. The Court dismissed the appeals filed by the Society and the appointed Lecturer, B.T. Krishnamurthy, thereby reinforcing the Tribunal's decision.
