As per case facts, Miss Rozalin Tirkey, successful candidate for a Post Graduate Teacher (Biology) post at Nirmala Senior Secondary School, a minority institution, had her appointment approval withheld by
...the Directorate of Education. The Directorate cited discrepancies between the school's recruitment rules and government notifications, including essential qualifications and the use of a demo-class, despite the petitioner's qualifications being higher and the school's argument that government instructions are not binding on minority institutions. The petitioner appealed this decision. The question arose regarding the extent of government interference in the internal administration and recruitment processes of aided minority educational institutions. Finally, the High Court held that government intervention in minority institutions is limited to prescribing minimum qualifications for teachers, and these institutions can adopt higher standards or their own fair recruitment procedures. The court found no justifiable reason for withholding approval, ruling that the school's recruitment rules need not be identical to government rules as long as qualifications are not inferior. The impugned communication was set aside, and the Directorate was ordered to approve the appointment.
