Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appointment of the Principal at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College under the West Bengal College Service Commission Act, 1978. The Court emphasized that the appointment must be made by the Governing Body based on recommendations from the College Service Commission as per Section 3 of the Act. It held that the provisions of the Act do not apply to colleges established and administered by minorities, as stated in Section 15, thereby affirming the special status of the college in question.
