ASHOK KUMAR DAS vs UNIVERSITY OF BURDWAN .

The Supreme Court upheld the Division Bench's decision regarding the promotion criteria for non-teaching staff at Burdwan University, emphasizing that the Executive Council's resolution from 26.06.1995 required approval from the State Government under Section 21(xiii) of the Burdwan University Act, 1981. The Court affirmed that without such approval, the resolution was invalid. Consequently, the Court directed the University to seek the State Government's approval for the promotion criteria, which was subsequently granted on 10.10.2002.
