Meena Sharma vs The State Of Jammu And Kashmir

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the appellant's appointment under the Rehbar-e-Taleem Scheme, emphasizing that eligibility criteria mandated candidates to be permanent residents of the village where the deficiency of staff existed. The Court clarified that the term 'village' refers to a Revenue Village as per the Government Order dated 24 August 2005. The Court held that since the appellant was from Chak Koura and there was no school there, he could not be appointed for a position in Bakore, which was the relevant village for the vacancies.
