Committee of Management Janta Janardan Shiksha Sadan Inter College Tilaon – Appellant

State of U.P. – Respondent
Key Points: - The judgment emphasizes that strict adherence to quorum is essential for the Regional Level Committee’s functioning and that decisions made in the absence of a member violate procedural requirements. (!) (!) - It rejects the blanket application of the doctrine of necessity in the absence of impossibility to fulfill the quorum, asserting that such doctrine cannot override the need for full participation unless truly impossible. (!) (!) - The court sets aside the impugned orders due to incomplete quorum and directs nominations from the government or adjournment strategies to ensure proper quorum in future proceedings. (!) (!) (!)
