B.C.Mylarappa @ Chikkamylarappa vs R.Venkatsubbaiah & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the appointment and absorption of Research Assistants at Bangalore University under the newly framed Statute. The Court held that the Statute, which converted the posts of Research Assistants to Lecturers, was valid and binding, thereby ensuring the continuity of service for those Research Assistants who were appointed prior to the Statute's enactment. The Court emphasized that the provisions of the Statute must be adhered to, and any appointments made thereafter must comply with the new regulations established by the University.
