Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the termination order of the respondent No.1, stating that the termination was not justified as it was based on the incorrect classification of the respondent's appointment as temporary. The Court emphasized the need for adherence to the principles of natural justice and the proper application of Section 59 of the Maharashtra University Act, 1994, which governs the appointment and termination of university staff. The Court directed the reinstatement of the respondent No.1 without back wages, affirming the High Court's ruling.
