Bharat Ratna Indira Gandhi ... vs State Of Maharastra & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's suo motu action in Writ Petition No.2216 of 2006 was unjustified as there was no petition before it, and the colleges affected were not made parties nor heard, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that judicial legislation is impermissible, referencing Divisional Manager, Aravali Golf Club & Another vs. Chander Hass & Another (2008) 1 SCC 683. The impugned order was set aside, allowing the appeals and directing the process for appointing Principals to continue in accordance with law.
