Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition challenging the appointment of a Vice Chancellor at Sardar Patel University, arguing that the appointment violated UGC Regulations requiring ten years of teaching experience. The court found that the appointment did not comply with the stipulated qualifications and thus quashed the notification of appointment. The court also directed the recovery of any benefits conferred upon the appointee due to the illegal appointment.
