Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Vice Chancellor's powers under Section 13(7) of the Varanasava Sanskrit Vishwa Vidyalaya Adhiniyam, 1956, are limited to making temporary appointments in emergent situations, which must be confirmed by the Executive Committee as per Section 23(1)(g). The Court ruled that the Executive Committee has the final authority to appoint and set conditions of service, thus the respondent's appointment was not permanent and could be nullified. Additionally, the Court found that general allegations of collusion did not meet the specificity required under Order VI Rule 4 of the Civil Procedure Code, leading to the dismissal of the respondent's claims.
