WAINGANGA BAHUDDESHIYA VIKAS SANSTHA THR. PRESIDENT B.B. KARANJEKAR vs KU. JAYA

The Supreme Court held that the termination of an ad-hoc lecturer's services, based on unsatisfactory performance, does not carry a stigma and is permissible under the terms of the appointment. The Court emphasized that the appointment was not on probation but purely ad-hoc, allowing for termination without notice as per the appointment conditions. The Division Bench of the High Court was found to have exceeded its jurisdiction by implying a stigma where none existed, thus reversing the High Court's order and upholding the termination.
