Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the State of Bihar to appoint the respondent, Arbind Jee, to the post of 'Adhinayak Lipik' in the Home Guard Department within one month, following the recommendation for compassionate appointment after the death of his father, a Home Guard. The court found that the denial of appointment based on physical standards was unjustified as the respondent had been shortlisted and had previously obtained relief from the Patna High Court. The court emphasized the need for adherence to its earlier order regarding the appointment.
