Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted permission to file Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) against interim orders of the High Court regarding the eligibility criteria for the appointment of Assistant Professor, which was set at 7 years instead of the statutory requirement of 5 years. The Court upheld the High Court's direction for the State Government to submit a Status Report on the construction of a new High Court Building, emphasizing the necessity for more space. However, the Court expressed concern over the procedural approach of the High Court in treating the matter as a Public Interest Litigation (PIL).
