K. ANJAIAH ETC. vs K. CHANDRAIAH & ORS ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal's decision to quash Regulation 9(2) of the Andhra Pradesh College Service Commission Regulations, 1986, on the grounds that it contravenes Regulation 9(1) and unjustly nullifies the past services of employees. The Court emphasized that the Commission's authority to make regulations under Section 20 of the Andhra Pradesh College Service Commission Act, 1985, must align with the provisions of the Act, particularly Section 7(3) regarding terms and conditions of service. The judgment reinforces the principle that regulations must not infringe upon established rights of employees as per statutory provisions.
