U.S.P.SRIVASTAVA vs VINOBA BHAVE UNIVERSITY — C.A. No. 1953/1999

Case Summary: U.S.P. Srivastava v. Vinoba Bhave University (C.A. 1953/1999) The Supreme Court dismissed appellant Srivastava's appeal on 15 November 2000. Srivastava, promoted as Reader in 1989 under a merit promotion scheme, was terminated by the Vice Chancellor in 1996 after the Bihar State University Act was amended requiring Service Commission approval within six months. The Court held that although the amendment's prospective application excluded pre-1993 appointments, Srivastava had no vested right to the post since the Service Commission never approved his ad hoc appointment in seven years, enabling the Vice Chancellor's termination order. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's judgment. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
