DR. AKSHAIBAR LAL AND OTHERS vs THE VICE-CHANCELLOR, BANARAS HINDUUNIVERSITY, AND OTHERS.(

The Supreme Court held that the Banaras Hindu University (Amendment) Act, 1958, specifically Statute No. 30, mandates a procedure for terminating the services of university employees, requiring a prima facie inquiry by the Solicitor-General and a subsequent review by a Reviewing Committee. The Court ruled that the Executive Council's actions in terminating the appellants' services without following this procedure were invalid, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to statutory provisions. Consequently, the Court quashed the resolutions terminating the appellants' services, reinforcing the importance of due process in administrative actions under the Act.
