SURINDER SINGH JAMWAL vs STATE OF J & K

The Supreme Court upheld the principle established in J. & K. Public Service Commission v. Dr. Narinder Mohan [(1994) 2 SCC 630], confirming that ad hoc appointments do not confer a right to regularization of service. The Court directed the State Government to notify vacancies to the Public Service Commission (PSC) for regular recruitment, emphasizing that the recruitment process must adhere to statutory rules. The appeals were dismissed, and the parties were directed to bear their own costs.
