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 emphasized the need for regularization of services and directed the University Service Commission to advertise available posts for direct recruitment within four months, while also mandating the government to sanction additional posts based on workload. The Court held that ad hoc appointments are detrimental to the educational system and established that all ad hoc teachers in service as of February 10, 1989, should continue until selections are made, ensuring they are compensated for their work.
