Ranjan Kumar vs State Of Bihar & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the appointment of Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT) was quashed due to the selection process being flawed, as it relied solely on interviews without a written test, contrary to established practice for technical positions. The Court emphasized the necessity of including all affected parties in litigation, referencing the principle established in Prabodh Verma v. State of Uttar Pradesh regarding non-joinder of necessary parties under Article 14 and Article 16(1) of the Constitution. The Court ultimately ruled that the High Court's decision to invalidate the selection was improper due to the lack of participation of all appointees in the proceedings.
