#Maharashtra Private Schools Rules

Bombay High Court rules that past service must be counted for Shikshan Sevaks’ reappointment under GR 2005, rejecting denial based on delay. The judgment clarifies distinctions between absorption and reappointment, impacting thousands of contractual teachers in Maharashtra’s private schools.

The Bombay High Court has ruled that terminating an untrained teacher under the Maharashtra Private Schools Rules, 1981 without following mandatory procedural safeguards under Rule 14 renders the order void. This reinforces that administrative convenience cannot override statutory due process for school employees, setting a binding precedent for all grant-in-aid institutions in Maharashtra.
