Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant, a college principal, for gross irregularities in examination conduct, specifically under the provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Intermediate Education Act, 1921. The Court found that the Managing Committee acted within its authority and followed due process, despite the appellant's absence during the inquiry. The Court held that the principles of natural justice were not violated as the appellant was given multiple opportunities to defend himself, leading to the dismissal being deemed valid and lawful.
