https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=156982 Section 2(35) of the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences Act was read as including both approved categories of teachers and a wider residual class of persons teaching full time in affiliated colleges or approved institutions. The Supreme Court held that Section 53's Grievances Committee could entertain complaints by unapproved teachers within that residual category, because the statutory language and remedial purpose were broad enough to cover them. Ejusdem generis could not be used to narrow the definition where the text showed a contrary intention and a restrictive reading would make the wider words redundant. The High Court's contrary view was set aside and the grievance forum was held available to such teachers. en-us Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 23 Jun 2025 16:09:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=156982 Section 2(35) of the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences Act was read as including both approved categories of teachers and a wider residual class of persons teaching full time in affiliated colleges or approved institutions.
