The Supreme Court addressed the issue of illegal ad hoc appointments in the Bihar Animal Husbandry Department, highlighting violations of the Government's Circulars No.7260 and No.3001, which imposed a ban on such appointments. The Court emphasized that appointments made without adherence to proper procedures, including advertisement and selection, are invalid. The Court held that the appointments made by Dr. Darogi Razak were unlawful and ordered their cancellation, reinforcing the necessity of compliance with established rules for government employment.
