petition seeking special leave to appeal against the final
judgment and order dated 02.11.2011, passed by High

that the appointment of respondent no. 4 was valid
and legal and he has been allowed to continue as
registrar of respondent no. 3 till his superannuation,
i.e. 62 years?

Court
below
was

in the respondent No. 3 has been allowed to continue

in the Respondent No. 3 is in violation of the notification
dated 02.11.1988 and the guidelines and notifications
of UGC, which clearly mandate that the post of registrar
is a tenure post in the Respondent No. 3 and making it
permanent has made the person absolute in power and
rights to act on his whims and fancies.

the rules laid down by the respondent No. 1 and
respondent no. 2 and continuation of respondent no.

language and it is also the violation of the rules and
