PRABHAT KUMAR SHARMA vs STATE OF UP

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court, which found that the appointments of L.T. Grade teachers in S.S.V. Inter College were not made in accordance with Section 16 and Section 18 of the U.P. Secondary Services Commission and Selection Board Act, 1982. The Court emphasized that proper procedure must be followed for appointments, and since the petitioners joined without valid appointment letters and before the required period, their appointments were deemed illegal. Consequently, the special leave petition was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
