NASEEM AHMAD vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' appeal against the District Judge's order treating their appointments as ad hoc based on the interpretation of G.Os. and the validity of the select list for Class IV posts. The Court clarified that the wait list for appointments should not exceed twice the anticipated vacancies and should expire once the vacancies are filled, as per the rules established in prior judgments. The Court affirmed the High Court's interpretation of Rule 12, leading to the conclusion that the appellants' appointments were invalid beyond the stipulated period.
