In Brief
A school management's decision to terminate a teacher's employment following allegations of sexual harassment against student girls was upheld. The Supreme Court found that the management had acted fairly and transparently, promptly reported the matter to authorities, and exercised justified discretion to protect student welfare. The Court set aside the Tribunal's and High Court's decisions that had interfered with the termination order, holding that such management decisions deserve judicial deference when proper procedures are followed in addressing serious allegations against minors.
