MEP Rules 1981 Rule 33(5) | Suspension Does Not Nullify Headmaster’s Administrative & Financial Powers : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that suspending a headmaster under the MEP Rules 1981 only halts salary payments, not the exercise of statutory administrative and financial duties. This clarifies that educational institutions cannot unilaterally strip suspended headmasters of their core functions during investigations, safeguarding institutional continuity and due process in public education management.
