Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Andhra Pradesh High Court erred in setting aside the extension of the appellant's tenure as Officer on Special Duty at Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam, emphasizing the need for adherence to statutory provisions under the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam Act, 1932 and the Hindu Charitable and Religious Institutions Act, 1989. The Court found that the High Court's decision lacked sufficient basis in law and did not adequately consider the appellant's rights. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the appellant's extension until 1st August 2011, affirming the importance of due process in administrative decisions.
