Dr. Premachandran Keezhoth vs The Chancellor on 23 February, 2022
"13. The contention of the appellant that the re-employment/re-
appointment must be in the same manner and method cannot be
accepted since he has already undergone the prescribed procedure.
The fact that at the time of appointment a particular Professor was
qualified for appointment will speak for itself for re-appointment as
well, unless he has suffered any disqualification during the period of
his professorship. The Syndicate being the Supreme body for the
University, it cannot be argued that it will act arbitrarily in the
absence of guidelines. If any particular instance is brought to the
notice of the Court establishing the arbitrary exercise of the power
that can be questioned. In this case, there is nothing on record to
show that the Syndicate has arbitrarily exercised the power in the
matter of re-employment of the Second Respondent. We have gone
through the cases cited by the learned Counsel for the appellant.
We are of the view that the principles laid down in those cases
will have no application to the facts and circumstances of this case."
