    The Bombay High Court allowed the writ petition, holding that special education teachers with diplomas in special education (recognized by Rehabilitation Council of India) cannot be treated as "untrained teachers" upon absorption into state schools. The court directed the state to grant them trained teacher status, recognize continuous service from initial appointment, provide seniority benefits, eligibility for old pension scheme, and release salary arrears within four weeks, finding the government's 2010 resolution arbitrary and violative of Article 14.
