Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the earlier judgment and directed the State of Bihar to consider the appointment of Madhu Kant Ranjan as Constable based on the select list from 2007. The court found that the delay in filing the appeal was justifiably condoned and emphasized the importance of adhering to the selection process as per the original advertisement. The ruling reinforces the principle of fair opportunity in public employment.
