Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court regarding the appointment of the petitioner as Junior Accounts Clerk under The Subordinate Offices Ministerial Staff (Direct Recruitment) Rules, 1985. The Court emphasized that the selection process must adhere to statutory rules and that the appointment was valid despite the subsequent cancellation of a promotion affecting the vacancy. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the petitioner was entitled to consideration for the post based on the proper selection process.
