https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=294060 Under the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools service rules, teacher seniority is governed by continuous officiation and the prescribed seniority guidelines, not merely by the earlier acquisition of a higher qualification such as B.Ed. Where a teacher was already qualified for appointment in the cadre, a later qualification obtained by another teacher does not displace existing seniority unless the rules expressly so provide. The statutory scheme also requires appointment of the senior-most eligible teacher as Head of School. On that basis, the senior qualified teacher was entitled to the headship, and preference given to the other teacher was inconsistent with the rules. en-us Wed, 13 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 09:30:01 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=294060 Under the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools service rules, teacher seniority is governed by continuous officiation and the prescribed seniority guidelines, not merely by the earlier acquisition of a higher qualification such as B.Ed.
