Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by issuing blanket prohibitory directions against the State Government regarding the transfer of employees in autonomous Ayurved colleges, which are governed by their own specific rules. The Court emphasized that the High Court's role should have been limited to adjudicating the individual case of the employee, Pramod Kumar Shukla, rather than imposing general restrictions. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's directions, reaffirming the autonomy of such institutions and the limits of judicial intervention.
