Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the Central Administrative Tribunal and the Delhi High Court, affirming that the petitioner, a contract employee, had no inherent right to the renewal of his contract as a Technical Assistant under the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. The Court reiterated the principle established in Secretary, State of Karnataka v. Uma Devi (2006) 4 SCC 1, emphasizing that contractual employment does not confer a right to regularization or extension without adherence to proper procedures. Consequently, the petition was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' rulings.
