BASUDEO TIWARY vs SIDO KANHU UNIVERSITY

The Supreme Court ruled that the appointment of the appellant as a lecturer was valid from 25.1.1978, despite the University Syndicate's claim that it lacked authority to appoint him in 1986. The Court emphasized the importance of recognizing the appellant's prior service in an affiliated college before its takeover by the University, thereby establishing that the termination of his services was unlawful. The Court directed the University to regularize his appointment, reinforcing the principle that prior employment must be acknowledged in cases of institutional transitions.
