In Brief
An assistant teacher in a private school was appointed on probation in 1999 with government permission. After over five years of service, the school terminated his employment verbally in 2004. The School Tribunal ordered his reinstatement with backwages. The High Court reversed this because the employee could not produce the original appointment advertisement. The Supreme Court held that the Tribunal's finding that the appointment followed proper procedure with advertisement could not be overturned merely for lack of documentary proof. The Court restored reinstatement but denied backwages.
