MAHAK SINGH vs CHANCELLOR, CH. CHARAN SINGH UNIVERSITY

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the appointment of the Acting Principal of Janata Vaidic College, affirming that Dr. S.P. Singh, being the senior most among the contestants, was entitled to the position. The Court noted that the appointment process was governed by the Statutes of Meerut University, specifically Statute No. 11.34, which outlines the criteria for determining seniority among teachers. The appeals by Dr. Mahak Singh and Dr. Rajvir Singh challenging this decision were dismissed, reinforcing the principle that seniority must be determined according to established statutes.
