STATE OF MAHARASHTRA vs SHASHIKANT S. PUJARI .

The Supreme Court addressed the employment status of Shashikant S. Pujari, a part-time lecturer at Shahaji Law College, Kolhapur, appointed on a Clock Hour Basis. The Court held that the repeated breaks in service and lack of university approval for his appointments rendered his status as a full-time lecturer untenable. The judgment emphasized adherence to the qualifications and approval processes outlined in the Government Resolution dated 31.01.1983, ultimately ruling against the respondent's claim for full-time status and benefits.
