Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appointment of teachers under the U.P. Secondary Education (Services Commission) Act, 1982, specifically interpreting Section 10 which mandates that vacancies must be notified to the Commission for selection. The Court held that the management's power to constitute a Selection Committee under Section 16-E of the U.P. Intermediate Education Act, 1921, was revoked by the Amendment Act 12 of 1985, thus requiring appointments to be made solely on the Commission's recommendation. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision despite procedural concerns.
