Article 14 & Service Law | Absorption of Trained Teachers Cannot Reduce Status to 'Untrained' : Bombay HC
Bombay High Court holds that absorption of trained teachers under a discontinued scheme cannot downgrade their status or pay scale, ensuring continuity of service, pension benefits, and protection under Article 14. The ruling mandates that prior qualifications and service must be recognized, preventing arbitrary reclassification that affects retiral benefits and dignity of employment.
