Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's Letters Patent Appeal regarding the regularization of his service at K.D.S. College, which was taken over by the State Government and affiliated with Bihar University. The Court noted that despite the appellant's long service and the college's transition to a Constituent College, there was no legal obligation for the State to regularize his employment or pay salaries, as the necessary procedures for absorption were not completed. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, emphasizing the lack of enforceable rights under the circumstances presented.
