Orissa high court rules against contractual appointment, cites lack of legal sanctity

The Orissa high court has criticised the state's hiring practices, ruling that contractual appointments made outside regular recruitment lack legal standing. Dismissing an appeal concerning an assistant professor's post, the court emphasised that such methods, especially walk-in interviews, undermine public trust and violate established norms. The judgment was forwarded to key government officials for action.
