Governing Body Swami Shraddhanand ... vs Amar Nath Jha

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court regarding the appointment of Dr. A.N. Jha as Vice-Principal of Swami Shraddhanand College, emphasizing that the refusal of approval by the University of Delhi was unjustified under Clause 4(4) of Ordinance XVIII. The Court clarified that there is no prohibition against appointing a Vice-Principal in the absence of a regular Principal, as per Clause 7(3) of the Ordinance. Consequently, the Court directed the University to grant approval for the appointment, affirming the High Court's ruling.
