Dr.Abraham Kuruvilla v. Sree Chitra Thirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court upheld the appointment of the sixth respondent as Additional Professor, holding that service as an Ad hoc Consultant constitutes valid teaching experience. The court ruled that ad hoc appointments count towards qualification if the duties involve teaching, dismissing the petitioner's claim of fraud and refusing to intervene in the selection committee's expertise.
What did the court decide?
The original petition seeking to quash the appointment of the sixth respondent was dismissed. No costs.
