Illegal Termination Under Service Law | Back Wages & Retrospective Regularization Mandated for Unfairly Dismissed Teachers : Gauhati HC
Gauhati High Court rules that illegal termination of a teacher without notice or opportunity of hearing entitles the employee to full back wages and retrospective regularization from the date of reinstatement. The judgment reinforces that undertakings extracted under duress-such as medical emergencies-are void under Article 14, protecting employees from unconscionable contracts.
