GUJARAT UNIVERSITY vs N.U. RAJGURU AND ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's decision to set aside the election of 28 teachers to the Court of Gujarat University, citing violations of the Gujarat University Act, 1949, specifically Sections 15 and 16. The Court emphasized that the separation of the Faculty of Education from the Faculty of Arts necessitated distinct representation, thus mandating a fresh election for the 42-member constituency. The Court's holding confirmed the need for adherence to statutory provisions in the election process, leading to the directive for a new election.
