Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the West Bengal Administrative Tribunal's order regarding the appointment of Lower Division Assistants was misinterpreted by the High Court. The Tribunal had only declared the petitioners eligible for consideration, but their turn for appointment had not arisen due to prior vacancies being filled. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment and allowed the appeal, emphasizing the need for adherence to the Tribunal's findings.
