S.C. Singh vs State of Uttarakhand and Ors

Bench: 2 — Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud

In Brief

A university administrator challenged his removal as Director of a College Development Council after serving two three-year terms. He argued the tenure limit applied only to deputationists, not to him as an absorbed permanent employee. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, holding that tenure limitations in university guidelines apply to all persons appointed to the post, not merely deputationists. Reading the relevant clause holistically, the Court found the tenure restriction applies universally. Having completed two permitted terms, the Appellant could not continue as Director, though the CDC itself was preserved."
