Orders
Summary: The Uttarakhand High Court dismissed Priya Joshi's petition seeking extension of her temporary Guest Lecturer position until a permanent Assistant Professor post could be filled. The court found that her appointment was purely temporary and could be terminated without notice under the agreement terms, and upheld the university's decision not to extend her tenure beyond June 2025 due to unsatisfactory performance—she was absent for 96 days out of 180 and failed to provide satisfactory explanation to a show-cause notice. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
