Asha Shamkumar Patil vs Sadhana Rajan Kamble & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision to reinstate the respondent as a full-time Hindi teacher, emphasizing that the appellant's appointment violated the reservation policy under Article 16 of the Constitution. The Court noted that the posts were specifically reserved for Scheduled Tribe, De-notified Tribe, and Nomadic Tribe candidates, and the appellant, being from the general category, was ineligible for the position. The Court affirmed the High Court's order for continuity of service and payment of monetary benefits to the respondent from the date of filing the petition.
