Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the appointment of Dr. Kumar Bar Das as Professor of Economics (SBI Chair) based on the invalidity of the Selection Committee's recommendation under the Chancellor's order dated 21.5.1990. The Court affirmed the Chancellor's directive for re-advertisement and fresh selection, emphasizing adherence to the endowment's terms aimed at promoting research in Rural Economics. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the appointment of Dr. (Mrs.) Bedabati Mohanty as the next candidate in the panel.
