Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that reinstatement of services could not be granted as the appellant's employment terms were not governed by any statute or statutory rules, referencing Section 14(1)(b) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court reiterated the principle established in Executive Committee of Vaish Degree College, Shamli and Ors. Vs. Lakshmi Narain and Ors. - AIR 1976 (SC) 888, emphasizing that a non-statutory code lacks the force to mandate reinstatement. The appeal was dismissed with no order as to costs.
