STATE OF UTTARAKHAND vs KANHAYA LAL

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision directing the State of Uttarakhand to consider Kanhaya Lal's appointment as Assistant Teacher (Language) L.T. Grade, emphasizing that no other impediments were presented by the State. The Court criticized the Additional Director of Education for overstepping by disregarding the High Court's order and failing to identify any obstacles to the appointment. The ruling reinforces the principles of fair play and good conscience in government appointments, particularly regarding adherence to application deadlines as modified by corrigenda.
