#Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools Rules

Bombay High Court Aurangabad Bench rules that surplus teachers from derecognized schools have no vested right to absorption or backwages for the period treated as 'dies non' under Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools Rules, 1981. The judgment clarifies that absorption is subject to administrative discretion, and no salary entitlement arises during the interim period.

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.
