Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of employment status under the Kurukshetra University Act, 1986, particularly focusing on the transfer of the Sirsa Centre to Guru Jambheshwar University under Section 35 of the G.J. University Act, 1995. The Court held that the appellant's claim to continue as a Professor at Kurukshetra University was invalid due to the transfer of jurisdiction and posts, thus affirming the decision of the lower courts. The Court emphasized the importance of statutory provisions in determining employment continuity and jurisdictional authority.
