B.M. Agarwal vs Chancellor, University Of Allahabad ...

The Supreme Court clarified that the observation made by the Allahabad High Court regarding the maximum age limit of 65 years for Vice-Chancellor appointments is not valid due to the amendment in the Government Order (GO) dated 24-2-2000, which deleted such a ceiling. The Court held that the Chancellor must consider candidates for Vice-Chancellor positions based on the amended law, disregarding the High Court's earlier observation. The appeal was disposed of with directions for future appointments to adhere to the correct legal position.
