Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging the cancellation of his appointment as Director at Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University. The Court found that the appointment was made under the terms of the advertisement and that the appellant failed to meet the necessary qualifications as per the AICTE norms. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, emphasizing the importance of adherence to statutory qualifications in public appointments under Article 14 and Article 16 of the Constitution.
