My friend has been teaching at a CBSE-affiliated private school for 20 years. Suddenly, the school called and said she wouldn’t be needed next session. Is there any way she can challenge this decision? What should she do next?

Under Indian law, private schools have the right to terminate an employee’s contract, but they must follow the terms of the contract and provide reasonable notice. Your friend can review her contract and consult with a lawyer to understand her rights and options. If she believes the termination was unfair or unjustified, she can pursue legal action.
