MRS IVY C.DA. CONCEICAO vs STATE OF GOA .

The Supreme Court ruled that the appointment process of a principal in a minority institution is subject to judicial review under specific circumstances, particularly when it violates the provisions of the Goa School Education Act, 1984 and the Goa School Education Rules, 1986. The Court held that the appointments made in favor of junior candidates, contrary to the seniority list and without proper consideration of the appellant's qualifications, were invalid. The Court emphasized the need for adherence to the rules governing appointments in educational institutions, thereby allowing the appeal of Mrs. Ivy C.da.Conceicao.
