The provisions of the Karnataka Education Act, 1983, related to service conditions such as retrenchment and resignation of employees in educational institutions applies even to the unaided linguistic minority dental institutes, the High Court of Karnataka has said.
The court said that Section 98(1) of the 1983 Act, which states that an education institution will have to take prior approval from the competent authority, that is from the Commissioner of Collegiate Education, in case of need for retrenchment of any employee of the institution, is also applicable to the unaided institutes.
