Inder Parkash Gupta vs State Of Jammu & Kashmir & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of ad hoc appointments in the Jammu and Kashmir Medical Education Department, emphasizing the necessity of following the Jammu & Kashmir Medical (Gazetted) Service Recruitment Rules, 1979. The Court held that appointments must be made based on recommendations from the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission, as established in Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission Vs. Dr. Narender Mohan & Ors. (1994). The Court ruled that the ad hoc appointments made without such recommendations were invalid and directed adherence to the statutory recruitment process.
