Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the termination of an employee's services under the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Rules, 1981, specifically Rule 37(6). The Court held that the High Court's decision to set aside the termination was justified due to a breach of procedural requirements, as there was no evidence that all three members of the Enquiry Committee deliberated together before submitting their reports. The Court directed the management to pay 50% of the arrears of salary, while denying the claim for family pension, affirming the High Court's ruling.
