What we handle

Staff & Service Disputes

Termination, promotion, pay and pension disputes raised by teaching and non-teaching staff.

What we do

Typical matters

  • Termination, dismissal and reduction in rank
  • Approval of disciplinary action by the education authority
  • Departmental enquiries and the enquiry report
  • Pay scales, arrears and pension of staff
  • Promotion, seniority and confirmation disputes
  • Appeals before the Delhi School Tribunal

An institution's disciplinary decisions are reviewable, and the review turns on procedure as much as on substance: whether the enquiry was properly held, whether the employee was heard, and whether the required approval was obtained before the order was passed.

We advise managements on the conduct of an enquiry before it is concluded, which is the point at which most of these matters are won or lost, and appear in the appeals that follow.
