State of Kerala v. Ayisha M.T.
Case brief
What is this about?
The State appealed against a common judgment striking down the word 'regular' in Rule 14E(b), Part III Kerala Service Rules. The Division Bench held that service in leave vacancies conferred no lien and never qualified for pension, and the teachers had no vested right. Appeals allowed; writ petitions dismissed.
What did the court decide?
Writ appeals allowed; the impugned judgments of the learned single judge set aside and the writ petitions dismissed.
