RAMAN SINGH vs DISTRICT INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of appointment and service conditions under the Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Service Selection Board Act, 1982, particularly focusing on the provisions of Section 18. The Court held that the appointment of a candidate cannot be validated without proper approval from the relevant authority, and any appointment made without such approval is void. The Court emphasized that the absence of necessary approvals renders the appointment illegal, thus upholding the decision of the lower court to deny the petitioner's claim for reinstatement and payment.
