THE CORRESPONDENT AND ORS. ETC. vs A.M.SANKEY JOHN AND ANR. ETC.

The Supreme Court remanded the matter back to the High Court, holding that the termination of the private respondents was in violation of the principles of natural justice. The Court noted that the District Education Officer's order dated 04.12.2017, which rejected the approval of the private respondents' appointments, necessitated fresh consideration by the High Court. The Court granted liberty to the private respondents to challenge the validity of the District Education Officer's order in the pending writ appeals, emphasizing the need for expeditious disposal by the High Court.
