The Supreme Court partially overturned the appellate court's dismissal of a teacher's claim for the return of withheld salary. The teacher argued that disciplinary proceedings were terminated because there was insufficient evidence of guilt, which should trigger a refund under the Teachers' Charter. The court agreed that dismissal for lack of evidence constitutes a lack of guilt warranting payment, but rejected the claim for the entire withheld period. Consequently, the court ordered a refund only for the suspension period and dismissed the request for compensation covering the time after the employment contract expired.
