VIJAY KUMAR SHARMA vs CHAIRMAN, SCHOOL SERVICE COMMISSION&ORS.

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, particularly in the OBC category, and directed the appointment of Appellant No. 1, while allowing Appellants No. 3 and 4 to be appointed against the available vacancies. The Court set aside the impugned order of the High Court to this extent, emphasizing the need for fair treatment in the appointment process under Service Law principles.
