Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of a writ petition under Article 226 against a private unaided minority educational institution concerning the termination of an employee. The Court held that such a writ petition is maintainable, emphasizing the need to protect the rights of employees even within private institutions. The judgment overturned the High Court's decision, affirming that service disputes in the private sector can be adjudicated through writ petitions.
