RANA PRATAP SINGH vs VITTIYA EVAM LEKHA ADHIKARI DIST. BASIC EDUCATION OFFICER

The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's dismissal of the appellant's Special Appeal, affirming that the appointment of the petitioner as Junior Accounts Clerk was temporary and contingent upon the promotion status of Shiv Kumar Rai. The Court emphasized that the appointment could be terminated if the original position of Shiv Kumar Rai was reinstated, thereby validating the actions taken under the Subordinate Offices Ministerial Staff (Direct Recruitment) Rules, 1985.
