Professor’s request for permission to be appointed outside of state is denied by U’khand High Court.

Dehradun: An assistant professor at the Government Medical College in Haldwani filed a petition with the Uttarakhand High Court, requesting a no objection certificate (NOC) from the principal in order to apply for a vacant seat at Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. The case was dismissed.
According to the court, “the employer possesses the authority to refuse granting a NOC if the employer has reservations against an employee seeking employment elsewhere. Poll This is an inherent right that every employer holds.”
The director of medical education gave the principal instructions to follow a government order from 2020, which states that the principal must grant a NOC to a government medical college teacher who has applied for an appointment at another college in the state. This was the case when Rudresh Negi, the petitioner, submitted an application for the NOC. Negi, on the other hand, applied for a job outside the state and the NOC was requested.
In an attempt to overturn the directive and order, Negi had gone to court and insisted that the department provide him a NOC.

The state counsel’s submission was considered valid by the division bench, which consisted of Justice Manoj Tiwari and Justice Pankaj Purohit. The counsel emphasized that a substantial amount of public funds would be wasted if a government medical college lost its recognition because it did not follow the rules regarding the minimum number of teachers required. “The court stated that the decision was made to protect the interests of the general public and to ensure the government medical colleges in the State continue to operate,” the ruling said.
