Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant, ranked No. 23 in the rank list dated 14.6.2011, is entitled to relief similar to that granted in Abokare K. v. State of Kerala, despite the expiration of the rank list. The Court set aside the High Court and Administrative Tribunal's judgments, restoring the appellant's name in the rank list and directing the issuance of an appointment order within two months. This decision emphasizes the need for equitable treatment of similarly situated candidates under the same rank list.
