Tenure appointees entitled to continue until fixed term expires automatically without superannuation orders

The term "tenure" derives from Latin "tenere" meaning "to hold" and refers to the right to perform duties and receive emoluments of an office. A tenure post allows the appointed person to continue until their term completes unless curtailed for justifiable reasons. Unlike regular appointments, tenure holders do not superannuate but exit upon completion of their fixed term. The appointment begins when joining and ends automatically by efflux of time. Courts have consistently held that tenure appointees are entitled to continue until expiry of their specified period, with termination occurring automatically rather than through superannuation orders.
