PRAMOD KUMAR vs U.P.SEC.EDUCATION SERVICES COM. .

The Supreme Court ruled that appointments of teachers in Uttar Pradesh must adhere to the qualifications and procedures outlined in the Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Services Selection Boards Act, 1982, specifically Section 16, which mandates that all appointments be made on the Board's recommendations. The Court emphasized that any appointment made contrary to this provision is void. The appellant's qualifications were scrutinized under the Act and the Rules, leading to the conclusion that his B.Ed. degree from Maithili Vishwa Vidyapeeth did not meet the necessary criteria for appointment as an Assistant Teacher.
