UGC Career Advancement Scheme | Statutory Entitlement to Higher Academic Grade Overrides Procedural Delays : Uttarakhand HC
Uttarakhand High Court rules that statutory entitlements under UGC Regulations, including Higher Academic Grade, cannot be denied due to procedural delays or non-incorporation into university statutes. The court directed Kumaon University to constitute a Selection Committee to consider the retired professor’s claim, reinforcing that statutory compliance is mandatory and not discretionary.
