AI extract
What is this about?
This judgment allows writ petitions challenging the imposition of exemplary costs by the School Tribunal. The High Court held that the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to decide on the approval of a teacher's appointment, rendering the cost imposition on petitioners for delay unwarranted. Consequently, the impugned order is set aside and costs are refunded.
What did the court decide?
The judgment and order dated 13 December 2021 imposing costs and consequential directions are set aside; the petitioners are at liberty to withdraw deposited amounts.
