Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant, who was the Principal of Mahamana Malviya Degree College, for gross irregularities in conducting university examinations, specifically under the provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Higher Education Services Commission Act. The Court found that the inquiry conducted by the Managing Committee was fair and that the appellant was given adequate opportunity to defend himself but failed to appear. The Court held that the termination was justified based on the findings of the inquiry committee regarding the appellant's misconduct, including tampering with examination materials.
