G. SARANA vs UNIVERSITY OF LUCKNOW & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the appellant waived his right to challenge the constitution of the selection committee by voluntarily participating in its proceedings, as established in Manak Lal v. Prem Chand [1957] SCR 575. The Court also ruled that the writ petition was not maintainable since alternative remedies were available, including representation to the Executive Council and an application under Section 68 of the Uttar Pradesh Universities (Reenactment and Amendment) Act, 1974. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed.
