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 followed due process in conducting the inquiry and providing opportunities for the appellant to defend himself, which he failed to utilize. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the writ application, reinforcing the principle that educational institutions have the authority to maintain discipline and integrity in examinations.
