ORISSA UNIV.OF AGRL.&TECH.&ANR vs MANOJ K. MOHANTY

The respondent, appointed as a Typist on a temporary consolidated salary, sought regularization of his services as a Junior Assistant based on his tenure of over five years and certification of his work. The university contested the claim, arguing that regular appointment requires passing a formal recruitment test and interview process. The central issue concerns whether a temporary employee on consolidated pay is entitled to regularization without undergoing the prescribed recruitment process.
