Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the High Court's interference in appointments made on compassionate grounds under the Bihar Government's policy. The Court held that there is no vested right for candidates to specific appointments on compassionate grounds, affirming the Government's discretion to appoint all eligible candidates to Class IV posts. The Court concluded that the High Court's directive to reconsider appointments was unjustified, thereby upholding the Government's policy and the appointments made accordingly.
