Case Note & Summary
The case involved an appeal concerning the employment status of certain individuals associated with a school. The appellants were Shubham Bahuuddeshiya Shikshan Sanstha and another party, while the respondents included the Education Officer and others. The Supreme Court, after hearing the counsel for both parties, decided to dispose of the appeal with specific directions regarding the employment of the respondents. The court ordered that respondent No.3 should continue to work at the school until a transfer order is issued, which should consider existing vacancies. Additionally, respondent No.2 was to be reinstated immediately in accordance with a prior order from the School Tribunal, with back-wages awarded from the date of that order, but excluding any wages for the period between 1993 and 2002. The court's decision was influenced by an undertaking given by respondent No.2 before the High Court in a related writ petition. The appeal was thus disposed of with these directions.
