Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal regarding the regularization of Assistant Engineers appointed on daily wages under the Bihar Regional Development Authority Act, 1981. The Court held that Section 6(3) of the Act allows for temporary appointments but does not confer a right to regularization without adherence to the recruitment process mandated by the Public Service Commission. The High Court's refusal to issue a mandamus for regularization was upheld as it would contravene the established recruitment rules.
