Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dispute regarding the appointment of the Principal of Brijendra Mani Inter College under Article 136 of the Constitution. The Court held that the ad hoc appointment of the appellant, Munishwar Dutt Pandey, as Principal was valid as it was based on seniority and approved by the Managing Committee and the District Inspector of Schools. The Court upheld the decision of the High Court, affirming the appellant's entitlement to continue in the position of Principal.
