Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's dismissal of appeals regarding the termination of T.D. Viswanath from his position as a Lecturer at Sri Basaveswara Junior College. The Court found that the Society's actions were in accordance with the law, as Viswanath had not been selected for the position after a subsequent advertisement and had not exhausted the alternative remedy of appeal before the Education Appellate Tribunal. The Court affirmed the orders of the lower courts, emphasizing the importance of following procedural norms in employment disputes under the Karnataka Education Act.
