Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals, affirming the decision in Amol v. The State of Maharashtra, which upheld the High Court's verification of records indicating that the candidates were not eligible for appointment based on merit. The Court clarified that the prior appointment was based on a mistake of fact, which was rectified upon review. Consequently, the appeals lacked merit and were dismissed without costs.
