Abhinav Gupta vs Prof. G.K. Mehta Erstwhile Vice Chancellor University of Allahabad

Bench: 2 — Kurian

In Brief

The Supreme Court examined an appeal from a High Court order rejecting a contempt petition filed by Dr. Abhinav Gupta against the University of Allahabad for allegedly violating a writ order. The writ order had directed reinstatement and payment of lecturer's salary from the judgment date. The Court found substantial compliance: the appellant was reinstated and receiving salary. The Court disposed of the appeal, directing the appellant to file a representation to the Vice-Chancellor regarding remaining grievances on regularization date and seniority, to be decided on merits within three months after affording hearing to all affected parties."
