Despite Irregular Appointment, State Has to Pay Salary for Work Done by Employee: SC

Man Singh Vs The State of Uttar Pradesh (Supreme Court of India)

Supreme Court held that the High Court has failed to consider the fact that even if the appointment was irregular, the appellant had discharged the duties and in lieu of duties, he had to be paid. The State cannot take any work from any employee without payment of any salary.

FULL TEXT OF THE SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT/ORDER

The challenge in the present appeal is to an order passed by the Division Bench of the High Court of judicature at Allahabad dated 05.10.2009 whereby an intra Court Appeal was dismissed.

The Single Judge in its order dated 11.05.2000 maintained the order dated 24.12.1998 of cancellation of appointment of the appellant as Principal on account of violation of Chapter 3 Rule 4 of U.P. Educational Manual prescribes that a close relation mentioned in said Rule cannot be appointed as Principal.
