Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of Respondent No. 1, an Assistant Teacher, was valid under the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, 1977, following a proper inquiry that substantiated the charges against him. The Court found that the High Court erred in setting aside the School Tribunal's order which upheld the termination, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to the procedural safeguards outlined in the MEPS Rules. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the School Tribunal's decision, affirming the legality of the termination order.
