THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, DEOGHAT JHALWA ALLAHABAD AND ANR. ETC. vs DR. ANURIKA VAISH AND ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the cancellation of appointments made by the Indian Institute of Information Technology was vitiated due to improper decision-making by the Board of Management, which failed to adhere to the University Grants Commission Regulations and improperly relaxed eligibility criteria. The Court emphasized that the authority of the Board to undertake such actions was unclear and that the process was flawed ab initio. Consequently, the Court affirmed the High Court's ruling to reinstate the terminated teachers and set aside the Board's resolution.
