Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the advertisement for the post of Project Director, stating that the respondent, who had been a temporary employee, was entitled to be considered for the position despite her prior transfer to another department. The Court emphasized that the principles of natural justice and fair opportunity must be adhered to in public employment matters. The appeal by the State of Madhya Pradesh was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the respondent's rights were violated by the advertisement.
