Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined whether the appellant, a school teacher, was entitled to absorption as an Assistant Teacher and continuity of service after artificial breaks in his employment. The High Court had denied these claims, and the Court analyzed the legality of the termination and re-engagement process. The Court emphasized the importance of regular and continuous employment and the rights of teachers in government service, ultimately ruling in favor of the appellant for the continuity of service. The judgment underscores the need for fair employment practices and protection of service rights for teachers in government institutions.
