North Eastern Hill University & Ors vs Tapan Kumar Chakrabarty

Bench: 2 — Biswanath Somadder

In Brief

This writ appeal concerns whether North Eastern Hill University's order on pay fixation was valid when the petitioner's entire case relied on orders from Manipur University, which was never made a party to the proceedings. The Supreme Court held that the Single Judge erred in deciding the case without impleading Manipur University as a necessary respondent. Setting aside the judgment, the Court remitted the matter for fresh hearing with directions to implead Manipur University, allowing it to state its position before any decision is made.
