STATE OF U.P. vs RAMESH CHANDRA SHARMA .

The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's decision to quash the order denying renewal of appointment for Additional District Government Counsel under the U.P. Legal Remembrancer's Manual. The Court established that such appointments constitute employment, entitling the appointees to automatic renewal until the age of superannuation unless their performance is unsatisfactory. The Court found the refusal to renew the appointments arbitrary, violating Article 14 of the Constitution.
