The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, affirming the order of the Administrative Tribunal regarding the regularization of the respondent's service. The Court found that the respondent was not entitled to benefits under G.O.Ms. No. 124 dated 22.2.1991, as he was appointed in April 1980 and did not meet the stipulated conditions. The Court clarified that the regularization under G.O.Ms. No. 98 dated 1.4.1999 was valid and prospective, thus dismissing the appeal.
