MEPS Act Section 9 | Formal Appointment Order Mandatory to Claim Permanent Teacher Status : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that under the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools Act, 1977, mere long-term service or functional role as a teacher cannot substitute for a valid written appointment order to claim permanent status. This decision reinforces statutory compliance in school employment and directly impacts thousands of contractual teachers seeking regularization without formal documentation.
