Viman Vaman Awale vs Gangadhar Makhriya Charitable Trust ...

The Supreme Court examined the seniority dispute between the appellant and respondent No.4, both teachers at Seth Gangadhar Makhriya High School, under the relevant service rules. The Court held that the seniority should be determined based on the qualifications acquired, specifically noting that respondent No.4's earlier completion of the B.Ed. degree entitled him to seniority over the appellant despite her earlier appointment as Assistant Teacher. The Court upheld the decisions of the School Tribunal and the High Court, affirming the promotion of respondent No.4 as Headmaster.
