Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reinstate the Respondent as a Social Studies Teacher, emphasizing that the termination of her services was arbitrary and violated principles of natural justice. The Court noted that the Respondent had been appointed permanently after the dismissal of her predecessor and had worked for nine years before her termination. The Court held that the Respondent was entitled to all consequential benefits from her reinstatement, thereby affirming the Trial Court's judgment and decree.
