Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the appointment of teachers under the Himachal Pradesh Prathmik Sahayak Adhyapak Scheme, stating that such appointments violated the Recruitment and Promotion Rules. The Court emphasized that appointments made without adherence to established qualifications constitute backdoor entries, thus directing the State to phase out these teachers and fill vacancies strictly according to the rules. The Court affirmed the High Court's order prohibiting the regularization of improperly appointed teachers.
