COMMISSIONER, LUCKNOW DIVISION AND ORS. vs KUMARI PREM LATA MISRA

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the termination of an assistant teacher's services at Colvin Taluqdars’ College, emphasizing the applicability of the U.P. Intermediate Education Act, 1921. The Court held that the managing committee of the college is a statutory body under the Act, thus making the writ petition maintainable. The Court affirmed the Division Bench's decision to remand the case for a merits hearing, establishing that the college's basic section is integral to the institution governed by statutory regulations.
