Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Director of Higher Education lacked the authority to review his earlier order dated July 23, 2008, which had declared the Governing Body's prohibition of respondent No.4 from discharging his duties as a lecturer invalid. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling that the order of July 23, 2008 was final and could not be altered by a subsequent review. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision.
