Case Note & Summary
The case involved an appeal by special leave from a judgment of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, which dismissed a writ petition filed by the appellant seeking to be declared a permanent teacher from the date of his initial appointment and for corrections in his service record. The Supreme Court noted that the High Court failed to consider relevant factual questions necessary for a proper decision on the writ petition. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter back for a fresh decision in accordance with law, specifically addressing whether the appellant's appointment complied with statutory requirements under the Uttar Pradesh Pravidhik Shiksha Adhiniyam, 1962. The Court requested the High Court to resolve the matter within six months of receiving a copy of the order. The appeals were allowed with no order as to costs, and any interim orders were vacated.
