Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court erred in dismissing the Writ Petition regarding the appointment of Appellants No. 1, 3, and 4, who were empanelled for vacancies in schools. The Court found that there were indeed vacancies available and directed the appointment of Appellant No. 1 from the OBC Category, emphasizing the lack of justification for not extending the panel life for OBC candidates. The appeal was allowed for Appellants No. 1, 3, and 4, setting aside the High Court's order to that extent.
