Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Writ Court directing the transfer of the appellant from Lucknow Campus to Hyderabad Campus, emphasizing that the 'Important Instructions' regarding campus transfers did not apply in this case as the appellant was already admitted and vacancies existed. The Court noted that the appellant's eligibility was not in question and that the transfer would not violate student-teacher ratios. The ruling reinforced the principle that administrative inaction can be challenged when it leads to unjust outcomes, particularly in educational contexts.
