State Of Orissa & Anr vs Mamata Mohanty on 9 February, 2011
In the case of Mamata Mohanty (supra), the Hon'ble Supreme
Court has held that at one time this Court had been of the view that
calling the names from Employment Exchange would curb to certain
extent the menace of nepotism and corruption in public employment.
But, later on, came to the conclusion that some appropriate method
consistent with the requirements of Article 16 should be followed. In
other words there must be a notice published in the appropriate manner
calling for applications and all those who apply in response thereto
should be considered fairly. Even if the names of candidates are
requisitioned from Employment Exchange, in addition thereto it is
mandatory on the part of the employer to invite applications from all
eligible candidates from the open market by advertising the vacancies in

newspapers having wide circulation or by announcement in Radio and

K. Anbazhagan And Etc. vs The Registrar General High Court Of ... on 13 August, 2018
41. Perusal of the above case laws, clearly deduced the principles of law
that ad-hoc employee cannot be replaced by another ad-hoc employee. No
contract employee has a right to have his or her contract renewed from
time to time. On the expiry of the contract no obligation can be fastened
on the employer to necessarily extend the said contract. If an order is
bad in its inception, it does not get sanctified at a later stage. A
subsequent action/development cannot validate an action which was not
lawful at its inception, for the reason that the illegality strikes at the root
of the order. A right in law exists only and only when it has a lawful
origin. The essence of employment and the rights thereof cannot be
merely determined by the initial terms of appointment when the actual
course of employment has evolved significantly over time. No person can
be appointed even on a temporary or ad hoc basis without inviting
applications from all eligible candidates. The judgments also

distinguished between "irregular" and "illegal" appointments
underscoring the importance of considering certain appointments even if
were not made strictly in accordance with the prescribed Rules and
Procedure, cannot be said to have been made illegally if they had
followed the procedures of regular appointments such as conduct of
written examinations or interviews. The State continued with the
irregular appointments for almost a decade is a clear indication that it
believes that it was all right to continue with irregular appointments, and
whenever required, terminate the services of the irregularly appointed
employees on the ground that they were irregularly appointed and same
is nothing but a form of exploitation of the employees by not giving them
the benefits of regularisation. Cases have to be considered in its
contextual perspective and not only from the point of view of the interest
of the State, financial or otherwise and the interest of the employees is
also required to be kept in mind.
