M. PURANDARA vs MAHADESHA S. .

The Supreme Court addressed appeals challenging the Karnataka High Court's decision regarding the selection process for Assistant Master/Primary school teachers, specifically the issue of rural weightage. The Court held that the High Court erred in adjudicating matters not raised before it and in not impleading affected parties, thereby violating principles of natural justice. The Court ultimately set aside the High Court's order and directed adherence to proper procedural norms in the selection process, emphasizing the need for transparency and fairness under Article 14 of the Constitution.
