KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA SANGATHAN vs AJAY KUMAR DAS .

The Supreme Court held that the appointment orders issued by Dr. K.C. Rakesh, whose services were terminated, are null and void. The Court emphasized that since the appointing authority lacked the power to make appointments post-termination, the principles of natural justice do not apply. The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision to set aside the termination order of the respondents, affirming that the appointments made under such circumstances are invalid and have no legal effect.
