M/S NATIONAL ALUMINIUM CO.LTD. vs DEEPAK KUMAR PANDA .

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a contractual appointment under service law, emphasizing that the respondent's failure to produce the requisite educational qualifications as per the contract terms negated any claim for extension or regularization of service. The Court held that the petitioner-company's decision to terminate the contract was justified due to the respondent's non-compliance with the educational requirements and unauthorized absence from duty. Consequently, the High Court's order for regularization was set aside, affirming the company's right to terminate the contract based on the stipulated conditions.
