Educational Society, Tumsar And Ors vs State Of Maharashtra And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of financial responsibility for back wages owed to a reinstated employee under the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, 1977. The Court held that since the school is fully aided by the State of Maharashtra, the financial burden of back wages should be borne by the State rather than the appellants, the educational society. This decision clarifies the obligations of aided institutions regarding employee remuneration following reinstatement orders from the School Tribunal.
