State Of Jharkhand & Ors vs Bijay Kumar & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the termination of ad hoc appointments made in the Frozen Semen Bank Project, ruling that such appointments were illegal due to lack of authority, advertisement, and adherence to reservation policies. The Court held that while ad hoc appointees have no right to regularization, the State must consider their applications for future recruitment, allowing for age relaxation and weightage in selection. The Court emphasized that this decision is based on the specific facts of the case and should not be treated as a precedent.
