STATE OF BIHAR vs MITHILESH KUMAR

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of appointment of instructors under the Bihar Public Service Commission, emphasizing the need for adherence to procedural norms in public employment. The Court held that the rejection of the respondent's representation by the Director, Social Welfare, was arbitrary and quashed the order, directing the appointment of the respondent as Assistant Instructor. The judgment reinforced the principle that once a candidate is declared successful in an interview, they have a legitimate expectation for appointment, as per the guidelines set forth by the Bihar Public Service Commission.
