Asha Education Society Through Its ... vs Nandkishore Shrikrishna Wankhedkar ...

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the reinstatement and back wages of teachers under the Asha Education Society, emphasizing that their appointments were on a year-to-year basis due to the lack of permanent recognition of the course as per Section 5(2) of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, 1977. The Court held that the teachers were entitled to back wages only for the academic year preceding their termination, given the circumstances of their employment. Consequently, the appeals were disposed of with a directive for the appellants to pay the appropriate salary and benefits for that period.
