    Summary The High Court of Bombay's Nagpur Bench allowed the writ petition and quashed the Education Officer's rejection of the teacher's appointment approval. The court held that the government's 100% recruitment ban does not apply to minority educational institutions, and since the Urdu Education Society was a recognized minority institution, the ban was inapplicable. The court directed the Education Officer to grant approval to Raheela Nazish's appointment as Assistant Teacher retroactively from September 1, 2021.
