YOGESH MAHAJAN vs PROF. R. C. DEKA DIRECTOR ALL INDIA INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SEIENCES

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal and the Delhi High Court, affirming that the petitioner, a Technical Assistant at AIIMS, had no right to an extension of his contract or to be regularized due to the lack of adherence to established procedures for contract appointments. The Court cited the precedent in Secretary, State of Karnataka v. Uma Devi (2006) 4 SCC 1, emphasizing that contractual employment does not confer a right to regularization. The petition was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that appointments must follow due process as per established rules.
