THE KONCH DEGREE COLLEGE,CONCH JALAUN ETC. vs RAM SAJIWAN SHUKLA & ANR. ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court regarding the selection of teachers under Section 26(4) of the Kanpur and Meerut Universities Act, 1965. The Court ruled that the Vice-Chancellor's refusal to approve the appointment of Ram Sanjeevan Shukla was justified due to his lack of qualifications in History, as he specialized in Ancient History. The Court also noted that the temporary post of Lecturer in Ancient History had acquired a permanent status over time, allowing for the continuation of Shukla's position, while also addressing the procedural flaws in the appointment of S.N. Saxena, leading to the regularization of his service.
