Vested Rights in Service Law | Teachers Acquiring Postgraduate Degrees After Appointment Entitled to Higher Pay Scales : Calcutta HC
Calcutta High Court affirms that teachers who obtain postgraduate qualifications during service with official permission retain their right to higher pay scales under pre-enactment service terms. The ruling protects vested rights from being nullified by subsequent restrictive notifications under the West Bengal Schools (Control of Expenditure) Act, 2005, impacting pay scale entitlements for thousands of educators.
