Orders
Summary The Bombay High Court (Aurangabad Bench) dismissed Dr. Venkata Ramana Murthy Yellajosyula's writ petition challenging his termination from Maharashtra National Law University (MNLU). The court held that the university's special statutory framework, governed by the Maharashtra National Law University Act 2014, prevails over UGC guidelines; since the petitioner's appointment letter explicitly stated a two-year probation period which he accepted without objection for nearly two years, the non-stigmatic termination order requiring no assigned reasons was legally valid. The court found no illegality in the university's decision that his services were no longer required. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
