casestatus.in Summary

Summary of Osmania University v. Abdul Rayees Khan (C.A. No. 014548/1996) The Supreme Court allowed Osmania University's appeal and set aside the High Court's decision quashing G. Manohar Rao's promotion to Reader. The Court held that the University properly followed the UGC merit promotion scheme guidelines by obtaining external expert evaluations and that the Selection Committee's unanimous recommendation, based on objective academic criteria, did not require a formal marking system. The Court emphasized that while courts should generally defer to academic bodies on educational matters, such decisions must comply with statutory procedures and remain non-arbitrary.
