U.O.I vs TILAK RAJ GANDHI

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision directing the appointment of the respondent as Director (Finance) in BSNL, following the closure of a CBI inquiry against him. The Court noted that the respondent was eligible for the position after the inquiry was closed, and thus the appellants were mandated to appoint him upon the vacancy arising. The judgment emphasized the importance of fair administrative processes in public appointments, particularly under the principles of natural justice.
