Gadge Govind Venkatrao and Others v. the State of Maharashtra and Others
Case brief
What is this about?
Teachers challenged refusal of approval for transfers from unaided to aided posts. The court quashed the refusals and directed approval subject to seniority, roster and prior approval on unaided posts. The circular and availability of surplus teachers could not justify rejection. Teachers with shorter service must complete three years as Shikshan Sevaks.
What did the court decide?
Rejection orders quashed; approval directed subject to seniority, roster and prior unaided approval, with Shikshan Sevak status for any balance of three years from initial appointment.
