Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court which ruled that the appointment of the petitioner as an Assistant Teacher was invalid due to the vacancy being substantive, as per the U.P. Secondary Education Services Commission and Selection Boards Act, 1982. The Court emphasized that the Committee of the Institution lacked authority to fill the vacancy without proper advertisement and selection process. Consequently, the termination of the petitioner's services was deemed lawful, affirming the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition.
