Natural Justice in Teacher Appointments | Denial of Opportunity to Cure Pavitra Portal/TET Defects Violates Procedural Fairness: Bombay HC
The Bombay HC has ruled that rejecting a teacher's appointment solely for non-compliance with Pavitra Portal or TET requirements-without giving the candidate a chance to rectify the defect-constitutes a breach of natural justice. This sets a critical precedent for all state education departments: procedural irregularities must be curable, not fatal, ensuring fair treatment in public employment.
