Maharishi Dayanand University vs M.L.R.Saraswati College Of Education

The Supreme Court held that the Maharishi Dayanand University was justified in challenging the Punjab & Haryana High Court's decision allowing the 1st respondent College to appoint eight ad hoc lecturers without the requisite representation from the University or the Director of Higher Education, violating the National Council of Teacher Education Act, 1993. The Court emphasized that such appointments must adhere to the statutory guidelines and that the College cannot unilaterally increase student intake based on unauthorized faculty appointments. The appeal was allowed, setting aside the High Court's order.
