Respondents- Respondents -------- Heard learned counsel for the appellant and perused the judgment under appeal. In our view, the principles laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Secretary of State of Karnataka & ors. V. Uma Devi, (2006) 4 SCC 1, are rightly attracted in the present case and simply because the appellant had continued for a long period without valid appointment by a competent authority in accordance with constitutional provisions, he cannot get a right of being regularized. 2 In the facts of the case, we find no merit in this appeal. The same is accordingly dismissed. (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (C. M. Prasad, J.) sk
