The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's directive for the State Government to form a committee to assess the vacancies for Teacher Grade III positions as per advertisement No.1/96, emphasizing adherence to the original selection criteria established under the circular dated 24.7.1995. The Court ruled that any appointments made under Rule 296 of the 1996 Rules, which were invalidated, must be scrutinized, and meritorious candidates from the select list should be considered for appointment. The Court also ordered that appellants who had served as Teacher Grade III for six years be allowed to continue working as Teacher Grade II pending the committee's decision.
