RAJNISH KUMAR MISHRA vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH THROUGH PRINCIPAL SECRETARY DEPARTMENT OF LAW

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court, which dismissed the appeals of the appellants challenging their termination and the orders of regularization being declared non-est. The Court emphasized that the appellants, who were appointed on an ad-hoc basis, could not claim regularization as a matter of right, particularly after the cancellation of the selection process. The Court confirmed the imposition of costs by the High Court, thereby affirming the lower court's rulings under the principles of Service Law and administrative discretion.
