Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Patna High Court, which ruled that the Bihar State Board of Homeopathic Medicine's resolution to abolish eight posts of Homeopathic Chikitshaks was invalid as the Board was not duly constituted under the Bihar Development of Homeopathic System of Medicine Act, 1953. The Court affirmed that while the appointments of the petitioners were irregular and could be cancelled, the resolution lacked legal effect due to procedural deficiencies. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, maintaining the High Court's ruling.
