The court found that the teacher’s merit and ability were unfairly assessed by an expert committee, and her promotion was wrongly denied. The committee’s decision was based on a 22-minute video recording of her class, which the court deemed insufficient to conclude she lacked merit and ability. The court directed the management to reconsider her promotion to the post of PG Assistant Tamil.
