Vivek Mudgil vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging the cancellation of his appointment as Principal due to insufficient teaching experience, as mandated by the U.P. Secondary Education Services Selection Board Rules 1998 and the Intermediate Education Act 1921. The Court affirmed that the period of study leave cannot be counted towards the required ten years of experience, thus the appellant did not meet the eligibility criteria on the application deadline. The Court held that the learned Single Judge's decision was correct and did not warrant interference under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
