K. Shekar vs V. Indiramma & Ors

The Supreme Court held that K. Shekar, the appellant, was not entitled to continue as Additional Professor at NIMHANS due to the temporary nature of his appointment as Lecturer, which was explicitly stated in his appointment letter. The Court emphasized that the appointment was subject to renewal and could be terminated with notice, thus establishing that there was no vested right to the post. The appeals from both the appellant and NIMHANS were dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling under Article 226.
