Ku.Kunda Motiram Bodalkar vs Swami Vivekanand Shikshan Sanstha & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the appointment of the appellant as Headmistress, although initially made without prior permission from the competent authority, was valid as it was based on an advertisement and no other eligible candidates were available at the time. The Court found that the High Court erred in striking down the appointment solely on the lack of prior permission, especially since the appointment was later approved by the competent authority. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and confirmed the appellant's appointment.
