Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns a challenge to the appointment of a Principal at a University College of Education on the grounds of lacking requisite qualifications. The appellant was selected by an Establishment Committee and appointed by the Executive Council, which was subsequently challenged via a Writ Petition by a competing candidate. The High Court had directed the University to consider the objection via a speaking order, leading to the current appeal regarding the validity of the selection process.
