Executive Committee Of Vaish Degree ... vs Lakshmi Narain And Ors on 12 December, 1975
In support of the
contention, the counsel relied upon two decisions of this
Court: (a) Executive Committee of Vaish Degree College,
Shamli and Others v. Lakshmi Narain & Ors., [1976] 2 SCR
1006 and (b) Deepak Kumar Biswas v. Director of Public
Instructions, [1987] 2 SCC 252.1n the first of the two
cases, the respondent institution was a Degree College
managed by a registered co-operative society. A suit was
filed against the college by the dismissed principal for
reinstatement. It was contended that the Executive Committee
of the college which was registered under the Co-operative
Societies Act and affiliated to the Agra University (and
subsequently to Meerut University) was a statutory body. The
importance of this contention lies in the fact that in such
a case, reinstatement could be ordered if the dismissal is
in violation of statutory obligation. But this Court refused
to accept the contention. It was observed that the manage-

created by or under a statute. It was emphasised that an
institution which adopts ,certain statutory provisions will
not become a statutory body and the dismissed employee
cannot enforce a contract of personal service against a
non-statutory body.
