Roma Sonkar vs Madhya Pradesh State Public Service ...

The Supreme Court held that the Division Bench of the High Court erred in remitting the matter back to the Single Judge instead of deciding the appeal on merits, as both exercised jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The Court directed the appointment of the appellant as a Commercial Tax Inspector, recognizing that he would have been successful had he received the benefit of the marks, while clarifying that his seniority would only be effective from 01.08.2018. The appointment must be completed within four weeks, failing which the appellant is deemed appointed from 01.09.2018.
