SURENDRA PRASAD TEWARI vs U.P.RAJYA K.UTPADAN MANDI PARISHAD

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of regularization in public employment, emphasizing that contractual appointments do not confer any right to regularization unless explicitly provided by law or policy. The Court held that the appellant's repeated contractual appointments did not establish a legitimate expectation for regularization under Article 14 and Article 16 of the Constitution of India. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that denied the claim for regularization.
