Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment which partially allowed a writ petition challenging the appointment of Anganwadi Sevika. The Court held that the appointment of the appellant was valid as it was based on the highest marks obtained in the 2003 interview, despite the respondent No.4 securing higher marks in a subsequent interview for a different post. The Court emphasized that the appointment of the appellant was for an additional Anganwadi Centre, and thus, reinstated her in service, overturning the High Court's decision.
