DHARMVIR vs STATE OF U.P. .

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, who worked as a teacher since September 3, 1985, is entitled to salary for the period he worked, despite questions regarding his valid appointment. The Court noted that the District Inspector of Schools confirmed the appellant's service during the vacancy of the Maths Teacher post. However, if the appellant has already received salary for that period, he is not entitled to double payment. The Court directed that the appellant's continued service be determined by the appropriate authority, ensuring compliance with relevant rules.
