Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant, who served as an Assistant Teacher and later as Headmistress in-charge, was entitled to regularization of her service and payment of salary despite the respondents' claims of termination. The Court emphasized that no formal termination order was issued against the appellant, and her continuous service was acknowledged by previous court orders. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition seeking her reinstatement and regularization under relevant service laws.
