State Of Punjab And Ors. Etc vs Supreet Rajpal And Anr. Etc

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's direction for regularization of part-time lecturers, de hors the contractual terms, was inappropriate. The Court emphasized that while the appellants may not be entitled to regular appointments, they should receive the minimum pay scale and continue in service until regular appointments are made. The Court set aside the High Court's order to the extent it denied the appellants' claims, allowing the appeals in part and directing the High Court to reconsider the matter appropriately.
