STATE OF PUNJAB vs ANITA

The Supreme Court held that the appointment of JBT/ETT teachers by the Doaba Arya Senior Secondary School was not in accordance with the statutory rules governing appointments in privately managed recognized schools. The Court emphasized that the State Government's approval is essential for such appointments, and the High Court's earlier decision affirming the selection process was based on a misinterpretation of the law. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the order of the District Education Officer, which declined the claim of the private respondents for approval and wages, thereby dismissing their appeal.
