Anup Kumar Kundu vs Sudip Charan Chakraborty And Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Calcutta High Court erred in declaring the appellant's appointment as Head of the Department illegal, as this issue was not part of the original challenge before the West Bengal Administrative Tribunal. The Court emphasized that the High Court should not have examined matters outside the scope of the Tribunal's order, which did not include a challenge to the appellant's qualifications. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment, affirming the legality of the appellant's appointment as a Professor and Head of the Department.
