RATTAN LAL & ORS. ETC.ETC. vs STATE OF HARYANA & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the State Government's policy of appointing teachers on an ad-hoc basis violates Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India, as it leads to discrimination and lack of job security. The Court directed the State Government to fill existing vacancies in accordance with relevant rules and allow ad-hoc teachers to remain in their posts until such vacancies are filled, ensuring they receive appropriate benefits during summer vacations. The Court emphasized the need for a sound personnel policy in educational institutions to avoid adverse effects on education.
