Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Kerala High Court's Division Bench, which ruled that V. Ananthakumari was qualified for the position of High School Assistant (Hindi) under the Kerala Education Rules, 1959. The Court emphasized that the management's failure to consider her eligibility for the vacancy constituted a violation of the rules governing appointments in aided schools. Consequently, the appointment of the appellant, P. Rajeev, was set aside, affirming the respondent's right to be considered for the post in question.
