VIDYA RAM MISHRA vs MANAGING COMMITTEE, SHRI JAI NARAIN COLLEGE.

The Supreme Court held that courts do not enforce specific performance of a contract of service, as established in the case of Executive Committee of U.P. State Warehousing Corporation Ltd. v. Chandra Kiran Tyagi and Indian Airlines Corporation v. Sukh Dev Rai. The Court emphasized that the remedy for wrongful termination lies in a claim for damages rather than a declaration of continued employment. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming that the terms of service under Statute 151 of the Lucknow University Act, 1920, lack legal force unless incorporated in a contract.
