Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reinstate the Respondent as a Social Studies Teacher, emphasizing that her termination was in violation of principles of natural justice. The Court noted that the Respondent had worked for 9 years and was entitled to all consequential benefits, including dues with interest. The judgment clarified that the Respondent's right to reinstatement was valid despite the prior appointment of Smt. Raj Verma, as her termination lacked due process under applicable service laws.
