Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals of teachers appointed under the Uttar Pradesh State Universities Act, 1973, who faced uncertainty regarding their employment status due to a prior High Court ruling. The court emphasized the importance of protecting the rights of long-serving employees and ruled that the teachers' appointments were valid, thereby allowing them to continue in service. The judgment reinforced the principle of job security for employees who have undergone proper selection processes.
