Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appointment of the appellant as Lower Division Typist was valid despite challenges regarding qualifications, as he was appointed based on the qualifications specified in the advertisement and completed the probation satisfactorily. The Court emphasized that the Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) acted within its authority at the time of appointment, and the subsequent claims of irregularity were not valid after a significant period. The Court ruled in favor of the appellant, reinstating his seniority as of the date of his original appointment.
