The Court upheld the decisions of the Karnataka High Court, which ruled that Shekar had no inherent right to the position, as his initial appointment was temporary and subject to renewal at the discretion of the authority. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the terms of appointment and the conditions set forth by the Indian Council of Medical Research regarding the establishment of research centers.
