Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant, a former headmaster employed by the respondent school, was dismissed for allegedly allowing a non-enrolled student to attend classes without paying tuition fees. After successful reinstatement, he was again subjected to disciplinary proceedings and ultimately dismissed. The Labour Court upheld the dismissal, leading to this appeal to the Supreme Court.
