Union Of India & Others vs Bikash Kuanar

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the cancellation of the respondent's appointment as Extra Development Delivery Agent was illegal, emphasizing that once civil rights have accrued, such appointments cannot be revoked by administrative authorities. The Court noted that the power of review must be conferred by statute, and administrative instructions lack statutory force. The Court directed that the respondent be reinstated within 30 days, affirming the principle that irregular appointments cannot be unilaterally cancelled without due process.
