Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Syndicate of Punjab University had the authority to fix a quorum of two members for the Standing Committee under Regulations 31 and 32.1 of the Punjab University Calendar, 1973. The Court clarified that the presence of two members constituted a valid quorum, allowing the committee to make decisions even if the third member was absent. The High Court's ruling, which invalidated the committee's decisions based on the absence of all three members, was overturned, affirming the legality of the committee's actions.
