U.O.I & Ors vs Tilak Raj Gandhi

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Delhi High Court's order directing the appointment of the respondent as Director (Finance) in BSNL, following the closure of a CBI inquiry against him. The Court held that the High Court's direction was premature as the post was not vacant at the time of the order, and the appointment process was not flawed. The Court quashed the High Court's order, emphasizing the need for adherence to proper appointment procedures under the relevant administrative guidelines.
