K. Gunavathi vs V. Sangeeth Kumar & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's directions regarding the appointment of Computer Instructors, affirming that under-qualified instructors have no right to continue after the regularization process and are not entitled to preference in recruitment. The Court emphasized that the Government must follow the current recruitment policy through the Teachers Recruitment Board, allowing eligible candidates to apply without preferential treatment. The decision reinforces the principle that eligibility for regularization is contingent upon meeting specified qualifications and passing requisite tests, as established in prior rulings including Civil Appeal No. 4187 of 2009.
