S. Narayana vs Md. Ahmedulla Khan And Ors

The Supreme Court examined the validity of the termination of lien of the appellant as a Senior Assistant under Rule 10(a)(i) of the State and Subordinate Services Rules, emphasizing that such appointments are temporary and can be terminated without notice. The Court held that the appellant's claim for promotion was not tenable as he had absented himself for over three years, thus justifying the termination of his lien. The Court upheld the District Collector's decision, affirming that the appellant was not entitled to promotion due to his absence and the nature of his appointment.
