Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision which quashed the cancellation of appointments made by the Board of Management of the appellant-Institute, citing that the decision-making process was vitiated. The Court emphasized that the Board failed to adhere to University Grants Commission Regulations and improperly relaxed eligibility criteria without proper assessment. The Court affirmed that the cancellation orders were unsustainable and allowed the writ petitions, permitting the Board to reconsider the matter in compliance with applicable rules.
