Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that Dr. Manju Saraswat's voluntary resignation from her position as Principal of Dayanand Arya Kanya Degree College was valid and effective despite the Managing Committee's acceptance not being approved by the Vice Chancellor, as per Section 35(3) of the Uttar Pradesh University Act, 1973. The Court clarified that approval is not required for voluntary resignations, distinguishing it from terminations that require management decisions. Consequently, the Court held that Dr. Saraswat's employment relationship with the college had ended, affirming the High Court's decision.
