State Of Haryana & Ors vs Vijay Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court ruled that the appointments of respondents as teachers on an ad hoc basis were valid until regularization under the Haryana Education Service rules. The Court emphasized that the regularization process, initiated by the Haryana Government in light of the High Court's decision in Hassan Mohd. v. State of Haryana, was lawful under the provisions of the Haryana Education Service Act. The Court upheld the regularization of services effective from 1.10.2003, affirming the legality of the appointments made prior to that date.
