BALBIR SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision rejecting the appellant's claim for appointment as an Art and Craft teacher, stating that candidates from the backward class 'A' category were appointed based on merit, having secured higher marks than the appellant. The Court noted that the waiting list for appointments had lapsed on 27th April 2000, and no candidates from the general category with lower marks than the appellant were appointed. Consequently, the Court found no illegality in the actions of the appointing authorities and dismissed the appeal.
