CHANDANA DAS(MALAKAR) vs THE STATE OF WEST BENGAL AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court of Calcutta, which ruled that the appointments of the appellants as teachers in a recognized aided institution were invalid due to non-compliance with Rule 28 of the Rules for Management of Recognised Non-Government Institutions (Aided and Unaided), 1969. The Court emphasized that appointments must be made based on recommendations from the School Service Commission and that the institution's claim to minority status was not substantiated. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appeals, affirming the High Court's order that denied approval for the appellants' appointments.
