NAUSHAD ANWAR vs STATE OF BIHAR .

The Supreme Court held that the appellants were not eligible for appointment as librarians in Bihar schools due to their degrees in Library Science from Alagappa University not being recognized at the time of their examination, as per the Distance Education Council's letter dated 2nd December 2008. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition, emphasizing that the recognition was granted only post facto on 24th November 2009, after the selection process had concluded. Consequently, the Court denied the issuance of a mandamus to direct the respondents to announce the results of the selection process.
