[U.P. Intermediate Education Act, 1921] Allahabad HC Upholds Maintainability Of Service Writ Against Termination Order By Unaided Institution

The Allahabad High Court addressed the maintainability of a writ petition challenging the termination order of a teacher from an unaided recognized institution. The Court ruled that such terminations, while affecting fundamental rights, do not fall under the purview of Article 226 of the Constitution of India as writ jurisdiction is not applicable. The petitioner's claim was considered against the backdrop of employment contracts and internal regulations of the institution. The Court emphasized that disputes arising from such terminations are typically handled by appropriate forums or under contractual dispute mechanisms rather than direct writ petitions. Consequently, the Court dismissed the petition, reaffirming the limits of its jurisdiction in such employment matters.
