UNIVERSITY OF DELHI Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) RULE.

(2.) LEARNED counsel for the respondent Nos. 1and2 waive service of notice. By consent, the petition is taken up for final hearing.

(3.) THE short question that falls for our consideration is whether the management of a minority college is free to choose and appoint any qualified person as Principal of the college or whether such management is hedged by any ordinance of the University in doing so " This controversy has arisen because the University of Delhi is insisting that the petitioner College shall follow the procedure of the Selection Committee for filling up the post of Principal as referred to in Clause 7 of Ordinance XVIII of the Delhi University.
