HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE AMIT BORKAR

The High Court of Bombay allowed the writ petition and set aside the Labour Court's Award, finding that Sanjay Manya Dongarkar's termination by Gokhale Education Society was illegal and unjustified. The Court held that the respondent failed to produce reliable evidence of age restrictions or eligibility criteria and its 15-year acceptance of the petitioner's services negated claims of temporary employment. The Court ordered reinstatement with continuity of service, full back wages from February 20, 2018, and consequential benefits, with judgment execution stayed for four weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
