Londhe Prakash Bhagwan vs Dattatraya Eknath Mane And Ors

The Supreme Court held that the provisions of limitation do not apply to appeals filed under Section 9(1)(b) of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, thereby affirming the High Court's remand of the matter to the School Tribunal for hearing. The Court found that the School Tribunal had correctly dismissed the application for condonation of delay filed by respondent No.1, who had voluntarily resigned and later sought to challenge the appointment of the appellant as Headmaster after a significant delay. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside.
