The Allahabad High Court has recently set aside the orders of Dr. Shakuntala Mishra University by which it terminated 5 teachers after 7 years in service.
In its order, the Lucknow bench of the High Court stated that the university did not follow the legal procedure nor did it hear the teachers before dismissing them.
Justice Alok Mathur passed the judgment on writ petitions moved by the teachers.
The teachers Rajendra Kumar Srivastava, Vipin Kumar Pandey, Mrutunjaya Mishra, Adya Shakti Shakti Rai, and Avnish Chandra Mishra challenged the termination order of July 6, 2022. The bench found that the petitioners fulfilled the eligibility criteria that were confirmed by the Executive Council after completing their probation period.
The bench observed that “This court is of the considered opinion that after permitting a person to continue in service for a long time, the selection can’t be canceled, or services cannot be terminated due to some infirmities in the selection.”
Therefore, the bench directed the university to immediately reinstate the petitioners and also pay them wages from the date of termination.
