Even after recognizing regularly as the best teacher all through last 15 years, a teacher has been asked to take leave and terminated from service by an un aided school.
What is the legal remedy left to the expelled teacher ? Labor court is not entertaining her petition as it doesn't come under the purview of Industrial Disputes Act.
The Supreme Court has held that a writ petition challenging the termination of services of a teacher is maintainable against a private unaided educational institution.

Since the labor court has not entertained the complaint, the teacher may approach high court with a writ petition seeking relief and remedy including reinstatement of employment if the teacher has been illegally terminated from the post.
