In Brief
A grant-in-aid Ayurveda college was converted to self-financing status with the condition that employee positions be maintained. When the college ceased paying salaries and did not absorb the 23 affected teachers, they sought relief. The Supreme Court held that the State must accommodate 16 of them in vacancies at other grant-in-aid Ayurveda colleges, while 7 had already retired. The management trust was directed to pay all accumulated salary arrears and was permitted to dispose of or mortgage trust property to meet this obligation, subject to trust deed procedures. The Court made clear this non-precedential resolution applied only to the case's unique circumstances."
