P P RASTOGI vs PRAVESH SOTI

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision directing the management of Ismail National Girls Post Graduate College and Meerut University to consider Dr. Pravesh Soti's case for regularization of her ad hoc appointment under Section 31(3)(b) of the Uttar Pradesh State Universities Act, 1973. The Court emphasized that the management's failure to regularize her position after two years of service was unjustified and mandated the payment of her arrears of salary from 1.3.1985. The Court affirmed the High Court's order, dismissing the appellants' review application for lack of locus standi.
