Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the respondents, Nowrosjee Wadia College, are entitled to reimbursement for leave encashment payments made to their teachers under the statutes of Pune University. The Court upheld the Bombay High Court's directive for the college to pay leave encashment for a maximum of 180 days, as established in the precedent case of V.S. Agarkar. The Court confirmed that the institution can seek reimbursement from the State after fulfilling its payment obligations, thereby reinforcing the legal principle of entitlement to leave encashment upon superannuation.
