ANURADHA BEDI vs MUNICIPAL CORPN. OF DELHI .

The Supreme Court ruled that the ad hoc appointments of the petitioners as General Duty Medical Officers were not valid for regularization as they were appointed under Clause 1 of their appointment orders, which explicitly stated that the appointments were temporary and could be terminated without notice. The Court emphasized that the petitioners failed to apply for regular positions through the UPSC as required by the Delhi Municipal Corporation Health Service Recruitment Regulation, 1982, made under Section 98 of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957. Consequently, the Court upheld the decision of the lower authorities, denying the petitioners' claims for regularization.
