I.N. SUBBA REDDY vs ANDHRA UNIVERSITY & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the expression 'conditions of service' encompasses all regulations governing a post from appointment to retirement. The Court affirmed the validity of Section 24 of the Administration Manual of Andhra University, which allows termination of service with notice, as it does not contravene Sections 7 to 12 of the University Code. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision that the termination was not punitive and did not violate statutory obligations or principles of natural justice.
