Dr. Sridip Chatterjee vs Dr. Gopa Chakraborty

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the appointment of Dr. Sridip Chatterjee as Assistant Professor in Physical Education (Yoga Therapy) at Jadavpur University, citing the failure to meet the essential qualification requirements as per the advertisement published under the Right to Information Act, 2005. The Court emphasized that the University must form an Equivalence Committee to determine the equivalence of qualifications, and the absence of such a committee led to the invalidation of the appointment. The Court directed the University to conduct a fresh selection process in accordance with the law.
