Sant Bhagwan Baba Shikshan Mandal vs Gunwant

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision directing the appointment of the respondent as Shikshan Sevak, emphasizing the applicability of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, 1977, particularly Section 2(24A) and Section 5, which mandates the filling of permanent vacancies with qualified individuals. The Court clarified that the Government Resolutions issued by the State of Maharashtra regarding the appointment of Shikshan Sevaks must be adhered to, reinforcing the legal obligation of managements in private schools to comply with these regulations. The Court ultimately affirmed the High Court's order for the appointment to be completed by December 31, 2009.
