I’ve been teaching at a CBSE school for the last six years. The school management suddenly fired me, citing my 12th-grade results as unsatisfactory. Is this legally justified? Are there any CBSE regulations regarding this? Can I challenge this termination in court?

In India, a teacher’s performance is generally assessed based on their teaching skills and classroom conduct, not solely on academic qualifications. While the school management may have certain performance standards, terminating you based solely on your 12th-grade results, six years after your employment began, is likely unjustified. You can challenge this termination in court, citing unfair and arbitrary grounds for dismissal.
