DIRECTOR OF SCHOOL EDUCATION AND ORS. vs S.PANDIARAJAN AND ORS. — C.A. No. 9919 - 9920/2011

Case Summary: Director of School Education v. S. Pandiarajan Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the Director of School Education's appeals on February 8, 2024, upholding the High Court's Division Bench decision. The court found no grounds to interfere with the High Court judgment, confirming that S. Pandiarajan's appointment as B.T. Assistant (Science) at a private school must be approved by the District Education Officer despite holding a B.Sc. in Industrial Chemistry rather than pure Chemistry, as private schools are governed by the Tamil Nadu Recognized Private School (Regulation) Act 1973, which requires only a B.A./B.Sc. with B.Ed without discipline restrictions. Next Steps: All pending interlocutory applications stand disposed of; the matter is concluded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
