GAJANAND SHARMA vs ADARSH SIKSHA PARISAD SAMITI

The Supreme Court examined the validity of the Rajasthan High Court's decision to uphold the termination of an employee following a disciplinary enquiry under the Rajasthan Non-Governmental Educational Institutions Act, 1989. The High Court had set aside the termination order on the grounds that prior approval from the Director of Education was not obtained, as mandated by Section 18 of the Act. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the termination, emphasizing the importance of procedural compliance and the authority of the disciplinary process, and reversed the High Court's judgment.
