Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant's non-regularization as a Forest Guard due to marrying before the age of 21 years was unjust, especially since others in similar situations were granted relaxation. The Court directed the concerned authority to consider the appellant's case for regular appointment in the same manner as the four cited individuals, mandating a decision within three months. The impugned judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the appeal was disposed of accordingly.
