SHER-I-KASHMIR UNIV.,SCIENCE &TECHNOLOGY vs BASHIR AHMAD GANAIE . — C.A. No. 6780/2001

Case Summary: Sher-I-Kashmir University v. Bashir Ahmad Ganaie Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal on September 27, 2001, setting aside the trial court and High Court orders that had granted an interim injunction in favor of Dr. Ganaie. The Court ruled the trial court should not have granted the injunction and directed Ganaie to comply with the University's July 7, 1999 letter requiring him to report to Jammu for posting orders. Background & Issue: Following the 1998 bifurcation of Sher-I-Kashmir University into separate Kashmir Valley and Jammu campuses, a dispute arose over Ganaie's assignment—he was posted at Jammu before bifurcation but challenged this via suit before the Additional District Judge, Srinagar. Next Steps: The Court directed both Universities to refer the matter to the Chancellor within one month under Section 50C of Amendment Act VIII of 1998 for appropriate allocation orders regarding employees of the erstwhile undivided University.
