casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court dismissed S. Devasahayam's appeal challenging his removal as Head Master of a Tamil Nadu aided school. The court upheld that under Rule 15(4)(i)(d), Head Master positions must be filled from specific feeder categories—primarily regular Post Graduate Assistants in academic subjects. Since Devasahayam obtained his Master's degree through a condensed 10-month course (making him an inducted teacher, not a regular one) and was not a Post Graduate Assistant, he did not belong to the mandatory feeder category, regardless of possessing necessary qualifications. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
