DISTRICT BASIC EDUCATION OFFICER ALLAHABAD vs SUSHILA JAISWAL (DEAD) THROUGH HER LRS

The Supreme Court addressed the termination of Sushila Jaiswal, an Assistant Teacher, under the UP Junior High School (Payment of Salaries of Teachers and other Employees) Act, 1978, and the UP Basic Education Act, 1872. The Court held that the High Court's directive for a medical examination was justified, as the Chief Medical Officer's report indicated she was fit for teaching despite her medical condition. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's order for reinstatement, emphasizing the need for proper medical evaluation before termination.
