DR. BOOL CHAND vs THE CHANCELLOR, KURUKSHETRA UNIVERSITY

The Supreme Court held that the Chancellor of Kurukshetra University had the power to terminate the Vice-Chancellor's employment under Clause 4(vi) of the Kurukshetra University Act, 1956, and Section 14 of the Punjab General Clauses Act, 1898. The Court established that the power to appoint implies the power to terminate, and the absence of a specific procedure for termination does not negate this power. The appeal was dismissed, affirming that the Vice-Chancellor's tenure could be determined without a formal inquiry as per the rules of natural justice.
