Shri Dani Belo vs The State Of Arunachal Pradesh & Ors on 20 April, 2011
The case of Manoharan (supra) reiterates the settled proposition
of law that vacancies, existing prior to formal amendment to the recruitment
rules, are to be filled up according to rules applicable prior to amendment. In the
present case, the order, regularizing the ad hoc appointment of respondent No.
4, is even de hors the 1979 Rules inasmuch as this direct recruitment was made
without following any selection process whatsoever.
