MUKESH KUMAR BADONI vs STATE OF PUNJAB .

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition regarding his appointment as Chowkidar was unsustainable due to the incorrect assertion that the Director of Public Instructions had refused approval. The Court emphasized that the rejection was based on the lack of requisite qualifications, specifically the failure to clear Punjabi in 8th Std. The Court directed the authorities to reconsider the appellant's application in light of the correct facts, thereby setting aside the impugned judgment of the High Court.
