Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled 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 University's representatives, violating the National Council of Teacher Education Act, 1993. The Court emphasized that the College's unilateral action to increase student intake to 80 was unauthorized as it did not comply with the necessary procedures for faculty appointments. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside.
