Supreme Court allowed Civil Appeal 5307/2024, directing IIIT Allahabad to appoint Lokendra Kumar Tiwari as regular Assistant Professor.
Earlier, the appellant was appointed on a contract basis in 2013, later cancelled, and repeatedly challenged the contractual appointment.
Court found the contractual appointment illegal as advertisement sought regular posts, with no justification for differential treatment.
The court set aside all impugned orders, directed appointment within four weeks, but denied any additional financial benefits.
