Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the Chief Secretary of Bihar to implement the Agreement made on 18.07.2007 between the State Government and the Bihar State University and College Employees Federation, emphasizing that the Agreement must be honored as per the commitment made. The Court clarified that the State's argument regarding the Agreement's non-compliance with the Rules of Executive Business under Article 166(3) of the Constitution of India does not negate the obligation to fulfill the commitment. The appeal by the State of Bihar was dismissed, affirming the High Court's mandamus order.
