Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by M.D. University, affirming the Punjab and Haryana High Court's judgment which upheld the appellate court's decision in favor of Ajit Singh Nandal. The Court found that the declaration of the post as vacant constituted a removal from service without due process, as no inquiry was conducted in compliance with the relevant rules. The Court held that the grounds for the appeal were not sustainable, allowing the respondent to proceed with execution of the decree.
