Guru Charan Singh vs State Of U.P.& Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court, affirming that the appointment of the petitioner as an Assistant Teacher was invalid due to the substantive nature of the vacancy created by the promotion of Gajendra Singh Rathi to Lecturer, as per the U.P. Secondary Education Services Commission and Selection Boards Act, 1982. The Court ruled that the Committee of the Institution lacked authority to fill the vacancy without proper advertisement and selection process, emphasizing that the selection should have been based on quality point marks rather than an interview. Consequently, the petitioner's termination was deemed lawful.
