STATE OF WEST BENGAL vs ANINDYA SUNDAR DAS

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the re-appointment of the Vice-Chancellor of Calcutta University, ruling that the State government lacked authority under the Calcutta University Act to make such an appointment. The court emphasized the importance of adhering to statutory provisions governing appointments in educational institutions. Consequently, the appeals by the State of West Bengal and the Vice-Chancellor were dismissed, affirming the High Court's judgment.
