Education198215 sections
The Gujarat Affiliated Colleges Services Tribunal Act, 1982 creates a specialized legal body to resolve service disputes between college staff and management across Gujarat. It covers all teaching, non-teaching, and support employees working in colleges affiliated with recognized state universities. The law removes these employment conflicts from regular civil courts and transfers them to a dedicated Tribunal headed by a District Judge or eligible legal expert. This ensures that staff facing unlawful termination, demotion, salary reduction, or unfair changes to their employment conditions receive a fair, specialized hearing with powers to order job reinstatement or monetary compensation.
