In Brief
A teacher employed for 30 years had his salary stopped by order dated 25 January 2012. During a writ petition, the Single Judge stayed the salary stoppage order, noting that stopping salary on mere doubt was unjustified given the long service. The Division Bench modified this interim order, restoring the no-salary status quo. The Supreme Court set aside the Division Bench's judgment, holding it had no justification to interfere with the Single Judge's interim relief. The interim arrangement was restored, arrears were to be released within one month, and the writ petition was to be decided on merits separately."
