Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of ad hoc appointments of teachers in Bihar's universities under the Bihar State University Act, 1976. The Court reiterated its previous directives from the judgment dated 06.12.1989, mandating the University Service Commission to advertise available posts for direct recruitment and ensuring that additional posts are sanctioned based on workload. The Court held that ad hoc appointments are detrimental to educational standards and emphasized the need for regularization and proper recruitment processes, thereby upholding the principles of fair employment in educational institutions.
