Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court affirming the dismissal of Shiv Kumar Tiwari's writ petition challenging his termination as a Lecturer. The Court found that under Section 16F of the U.P. Intermediate Education Act, 1921, Tiwari's appointment was temporary and lacked approval beyond June 30, 1973. The Court held that the absence of necessary approvals and the failure to challenge the selection process of the first respondent rendered Tiwari's claims untenable, thus affirming the High Court's ruling.
