Amarkant Rai vs State Of Bihar & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's claim for regularization of service as a daily wage employee, citing the principles established in Secretary, State of Karnataka & Ors. v. Umadevi (3) & Ors., (2006) 4 SCC 1, which emphasizes that irregular appointments cannot be regularized unless they comply with the established recruitment rules. The Court found that the appellant's appointment did not meet the criteria set forth in Section 10(6) and Section 35 of the Bihar State Universities Act, 1976, and thus confirmed the High Court's decision. The appeal was dismissed, affirming that the appellant was not entitled to regularization due to the lack of a competent authority's approval for his appointment.
