Abdul Hakeem M.A. vs Mahatma Gandhi University

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the refusal of Mahatma Gandhi University to implement pay revisions for teachers appointed against substantive posts, despite their completion of probation. The Court held that the University’s actions were arbitrary and violated the principles of natural justice, emphasizing that the appellants were entitled to pay scales as per the AICTE norms. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, reinstating the Single Judge's decision in favor of the appellants, thereby ensuring their rightful pay revision under the relevant University Statutes.
