Deepali Gundu Surwase vs Kranti Junior Adhyapak & Ors

The Supreme Court ruled that the appellant, a teacher, is entitled to wages for the period she was unlawfully suspended by the school management, which violated the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Rules, 1981, specifically Rule 37(2)(f). The Court held that the management's failure to revoke the suspension and pay the subsistence allowance constituted a breach of the appellant's rights under the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, 1977. The Court affirmed the Bombay High Court's order that the appellant be deemed to have rejoined her duties from 14.3.2007 and entitled to consequential benefits, with the management liable for arrears.
