MANAGING COMMITTEE OF M.M.DEGREE COLLEGE vs VICE CHANCELLOR

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of Dr. B.S. Goel from service was lawful as he failed to join duty after his foreign assignment, constituting unauthorized absence. The Court clarified that the Vice-Chancellor's approval for termination was valid as it was contingent upon Goel's failure to report by the specified date. The High Court's ruling was reversed, and the writ petition was dismissed, affirming the management's decision under the relevant service regulations.
